This is the original quiche, which was more of a custard, without cheese. It is so rich it will wow your guests! In the original recipe the bacon is boiled for 5 minutes (to remove the smoke flavor) then drained and cooked crisp about 3 minutes -no need to do this if you don't have the time! Ingredients:
3 -4 ounces lean bacon |
9 in. unbaked pastry shells |
3 eggs |
2 cups cream |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1 pinch pepper |
1 pinch nutmeg |
1 -2 tablespoon butter, cut into pea-sized dots |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 375°F Bake pie crust for 5 minutes, so that it is partially cooked.
2. Brown bacon in a skillet. Drain on paper towels. Press pieces into bottom of pastry shell.
3. In a mixing bowl, beat the eggs, cream, and seasonings until blended. Check seasonings. Pour into pastry shell; dot top with butter.
4. Set in upper third of preheated oven and bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the quiche has puffed and browned.
