Quiche Lorraine

homemade quiche Lorraine with a slice cut out
  • Serves:  8
  • Prep Time:  20 min
  • Cook Time:  55 min

Ingredients

  • 1 Tbsp salted butter
  • 1/2 medium onion, chopped
  • 1 tsp Brown sugar
  • 2 Garlic cloves, minced
  • 6 Large eggs, room temperature
  • 3/4 cup Heavy cream, room temperature
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (Gruyère or sharp cheddar)
  • 1 cup cooked, crumbled bacon or diced ham
  • 1 tsp Sea salt
  • 1/2 tsp Fresh ground black pepper
  • 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 recipe all-butter pie crust or one store bought pie crust

Method

  1. Prepare your pie crust by rolling it out to 1/4-inch thickness and forming it in a pie plate or tart pan, chill in the fridge until ready to fill.

  2. Preheat your oven to 375º F.

  3. Melt the butter in a small skillet over medium heat. When the butter begins to foam, add the onions and brown sugar. Let them cook, stirring occasionally, until they are very tender, about 8-10 minutes. This is a good time to cook your bacon (in a separate skillet) if you are using bacon instead of ham. Add the garlic to the pan with the onions and cook 1 minute longer, until fragrant. Remove the skillet from the heat.

  4. In a large bowl, whisk the eggs, cream, salt, pepper and nutmeg together until they’re well combined. Stir in the cheese, bacon or ham, and the onion mixture. Pour the egg mixture into the prepared pie crust.

  5. Bake for 35-45 minutes until the egg mixture is set and no longer jiggly in the center. Cut into 8 wedges.
