This is a new take on Julia Child's traditional Quiche Lorraine. And might I add, it's brilliant!
Serves: 6-8
Ingredients
8-inch pastry shell
10 slices bacon
2 cups heavy cream
4 eggs
1 medium yellow onion
3-4 cups grated swiss cheese
1-2 cups grated gruyere
Salt to taste
Pepper to taste
Pinch of nutmeg
2 tbls butter
2 tbls olive oil
Notes
The cheese measurements are varied depending on the amount of cheesiness you'd like your quiche to take on.
I love shortcuts, so I buy the Wellshire Farms Fully Cooked Bacon Strips because it saves me time and a lot of mess. All you do is pop these babies in the microwave for about 2 minutes, or until crispy and you have perfect, organic, and mess-free bacon!
Directions
1. Heat oven to 375.
2. Prepare pastry shell and bake in the oven for about 10 minutes - until its partially cooked, but not brown at all. Then take it out of the oven and place aside.
3. Chop onions into small pieces and toss into a heated pan with the butter and olive oil. Cook until golden brown and sweet, but make sure not to burn. When finished, place aside.
5. Cook bacon pieces until crispy, then crumble and place aside.
4. Pour cream and eggs into a bowl and whisk together.
5. Add all seasonings as well as the grated cheeses and fold together.
6. Put the onion pieces and bacon pieces on the bottom of the pie crust so it is evenly covering the bottom.
7. Pour liquid mixture into the pie crust.
8. Place in oven and bake for 25-30 minutes.
9. Let cool and enjoy!
