Ingredients

  • 1 (9-inch) refrigerated pie crust
  • ½ pound Bacon chopped into ½-inch strips
  • ½ yellow onion diced
  • 1 cup Freshly shredded gruyere cheese
  • 1¾ cups half-and-half
  • 4 large eggs
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • ⅛ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives plus more for garnish

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat oven to 350°F.
  2. Roll out the pie crust (if needed) and transfer it to a 9½-inch quiche pan. Use a rolling pin to roll over the dough and cut off the excess crust.
  3. Place a piece of parchment on the crust and fill it with pie weights. Spread them out all the way to the edges of the crust. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and cooked through.
  4. Remove the pie weights and set aside.
  5. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add in the bacon and cook until crisp. Set aside on a paper towel lined plate.
  6. Drain off all but 1 tablespoon of the bacon fat. Add in the onion and cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside.
  7. In a large bowl, whisk the cheese, half-and-half, eggs, salt, pepper, nutmeg, and chives together.
  8. Arrange the bacon and onions in the bottom of the crust.
  9. Pour in the filling and bake for 30-40 minutes, or until the filling is set. Garnish with more chives, if desired.

Notes

  • Storage: Store quiche lorraine in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
  • If you don't have a quiche pan, use a tart pan with a removable bottom or a 9-inch pie pan.
  • If you don't have pie weights, use dried beans, peas, or rice to weigh down the crust.
  • For a more indulgent quiche, use heavy cream in place of the half-and-half.
  • The filling should be just set; it may wobble a bit in the center. This will ensure the quiche is silky and light.
