Quiche Lorraine Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1 pie crust
• 6 slices of bacon, chopped
• 1/2 cup diced onion
• 4 large eggs
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp black pepper
• 1 cup shredded Gruyere cheese

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
2. Line a 9-inch pie dish with the pie crust and trim any excess dough.
3. In a skillet, cook the chopped bacon until crispy. Remove from the pan and set aside on a paper towel-lined plate to cool. Leave the bacon grease in the skillet.
4. Add the diced onion to the skillet with the bacon grease and cook until translucent. Remove from the heat and set aside.
5. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
6. Layer the cooled bacon and onion on the bottom of the prepared pie crust. Sprinkle the shredded Gruyere cheese on top of the bacon and onion layer.
7. Pour the egg mixture on top of the cheese layer, using a spatula to evenly distribute the mixture.
8. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the quiche is cooked through and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
9. Let the quiche cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving.

This Quiche Lorraine recipe is a classic and absolutely delicious. The combination of bacon and Gruyere cheese gives a wonderful taste to this dish. The creamy texture of the filling perfectly complements the crispy pie crust, making it a perfect brunch or breakfast item.
