Quiche Lorraine Recipe


So I've got some eggs that expire tomorrow and I'm thinking of making several quiches, Quiche Lorraine is a good one since it has bacon in it, but I also have some spinach so might just make a couple of quiches. Below is a recipe for Quiche Lorraine and a web page devoted to quiche were there is no doubt several more quiche recipes.

The most classic of quiche recipes is Quiche Lorraine. The salty smokiness of the bacon is the absolute perfect complement to the creamy tang of the of the Swiss cheese. This is a perfect combination. Any of the quiche crust recipes can be used for this dish, although we prefer the classic crust.

* 1 pre-made pie pastry for a 9 inch single crust pie
* 12 slices bacon
* 1 cup shredded Swiss cheese
* 1/3 cup chopped green onion
* 4 eggs, beaten
* 2 cups light cream
* 3/4 teaspoon salt
* 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
* 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit
2. Place bacon in a large skillet, and fry over medium heat until crisp. Drain on paper towels, then chop coarsely. Sprinkle bacon, cheese and onion into pastry shell.
3. In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs, cream, salt, and cayenne pepper. Pour mixture into pastry shell.
4. Bake 15 minutes in the preheated oven. Reduce heat to 300 degrees F, and bake an additional 30 minutes, or until a knife inserted 1 inch from edge comes out clean. Allow quiche to sit 10 minutes before cutting into wedges.
