Quiche Lorraine
Craving a taste of France? Indulge in the rich, savory flavors of Quiche Lorraine, a classic French dish that combines a buttery, flaky crust with a creamy, cheesy, and bacon-filled custard.
Ingredients
- 6 slices uncooked bacon, diced
- 1 large onion, diced
- 5 large eggs
- 1 cup heavy cream
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup shredded cheese (sharp cheddar, Swiss, or Gruyère)
Instructions
- Set your oven to 400°F (200°C) and allow it to fully preheat before baking.
- Remove the premade pie crust from the freezer and let it come to room temperature. Place it on a baking sheet for easy handling.
- Use a fork to gently prick the bottom of the crust to prevent air bubbles from forming during baking.
- Line the crust with parchment paper, then fill it with dried beans or pie weights to keep the crust from puffing up.
- Place the crust in the preheated oven and bake for 10 minutes.
- Carefully remove the parchment paper and beans. Set the crust aside to cool slightly while you prepare the filling.
- Reduce the oven heat to 350°F (175°C) for the final bake.
