Quiche Lorraine
- 9 inches pie crusts
- 1 cup 1% low-fat milk
- 1 cup whipping cream
- 4 eggs
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- sea salt
- cracked pepper, to taste
- 1/3 cup diced onion
- 10 slices bacon
- 4 1/2 ounces grated gruyere cheese (or Swiss)
- Prepare your pastry dough and line your pie plate and refrigerate the crust while you bake your bacon. 400 degrees for 17 minutes, on a wire rack, over a cookie sheet. Let the bacon cool, so you can handle it.
- Meanwhile, dice the onion, and grate the cheese.
- Place the now diced bacon on the bottom of the pie shell, then the onion, the cheese, and the mixture of the milk, cream,eggs and spices over top. I usually do this with the pie shell already in the oven, to avoid spills.
- Bake at 425 for 15 minutes, reduce heat to 350, and bake for 30-35 minutes longer, until a knife test comes out almost clean. Eggs continue to cook after they are taken out of the oven, so try not to overbake.
- You may want to blind bake the crust, and saute the onions for a few minutes to soften, but I never do. Completely up to the chef!
- Let sit for 15-30 minutes, then enjoy!
