Turn your kitchen into a quaint French bistro with this Classic Quiche Lorraine. Ingredients:
1 9-inch pie crust |
8 slices bacon, crisply cooked and crumbled, drippings reserved |
1 onion, chopped |
3 eggs |
1 1/2 cups half-and-half |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1/4 teaspoon pepper |
1/8 teaspoon nutmeg |
1 1/2 cup shredded swiss or |
gruyère cheese |
Directions:
1. Arrange pie crust in a 9-inch pie plate; press a double layer of aluminum foil into crust.
2. Bake at 450 degrees for 8 minutes; remove aluminum foil and bake an additional 4 to 5 minutes, until crust is set. Cool on a wire rack.
3. Sauté onion in one tablespoon reserved drippings until tender; drain. Spoon bacon and onion evenly into baked crust. In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, half-and-half and seasonings; add cheese and whisk to combine.
4. Pour into crust; set pie plate on a baking sheet. Bake at 450 degrees for 35 to 40 minutes until quiche is golden, puffed and a knife inserted in center comes out clean.
5. If necessary, cover edges of crust with foil to prevent burning. Remove from oven; let stand 15 minutes before serving.
