John's Quiche Lorraine
- 1 frozen single pie crust
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1/2 pound slab bacon with rind removed, diced
- 1 1/2 cups heavy cream
- 3 eggs
- salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
- 1 pinch ground nutmeg
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
- Fit the pie crust into a quiche pan or 9-inch pie dish, and cover the crust with a sheet of aluminum foil.
- Fill the crust with pie weights or dried beans.
- Bake the crust in the preheated oven just until the edges begin to turn golden brown, about 15 minutes.
- Remove from oven, and take out the pie weights and aluminum foil.
- Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat, and cook the bacon until browned, stirring frequently, about 7 minutes.
- Transfer the bacon to paper towels to drain, then sprinkle the bacon into the partially-baked crust.
- Whisk the cream, eggs, salt, black pepper, and nutmeg together in a bowl, and pour into the crust.
- Return to oven, and bake until the filling is set in the middle and the quiche is puffy and golden brown, 30 to 35 minutes.
- Allow to cool until warm, about 1 hour, to serve.
