Instructions
 

Here’s how I make my tasty Quiche Lorraine:

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • Cook the bacon in a pan until crispy, then crumble it.
  • Sauté the onion in bacon drippings until soft.
  • Whisk together eggs, cream, salt, pepper, and nutmeg (if using) in a bowl.
  • Arrange pie crust in the pie pan.
  • Layer bacon, onion, and cheese in the crust.
  • Pour egg mixture over the other ingredients.
  • Bake for 35-40 minutes or until the filling sets and turns golden brown.

Enjoy the rich aroma and savory flavors!

    Notes

    Here are some extra tips from my experience:
    I often cool the quiche on a wire rack for 10 minutes before serving.
    Adding a bit of Parmesan cheese on top gives extra flavor that's hard to resist!
    Store leftovers in the fridge for up to three days, easily reheated in the oven.
    You can switch up Swiss cheese for Gruyère if you like a nuttier taste.
    Feel free to adapt these tips to suit your taste. Happy cooking! 🍴✨
