Quiche Lorraine Recipe
Quiche Lorraine Recipe is a delicious savory egg & bacon tart cooked in a homemade pie crust & baked for the perfect brunch recipe.
Ingredients
For the Pie Crust:
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 stick ice-cold unsalted butter
- 3 to 4 tablespoons ice-cold water
- pinch of sea salt
For the Filling:
- 1 teaspoon unsalted butter
- ½ thinly sliced sweet onion
- 6 strips chopped crisp cooked bacon
- 1 cup of shredded comte cheese
- 6 eggs
- 1 ½ cups heavy whipping cream
- sea salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°.
- Pie Crust: Add the flour, butter, and salt to a food processor and process on low speed while drizzling in water until it becomes like a meal.
- Transfer the dough to a clean surface dusted with flour and roll out the dough and form it in a 9” tart pan. Remove any access.
- Place a parchment paper round or foil into the center of the tart pan on the dough and pour on 2 cups of dried beans. Par bake in the oven for 10 minutes. Turn the heat down to 375°.
- Filling: Add the butter to a small sauté pan and gently roast the onions on medium heat for 10 minutes or until lightly browned.
- In a bowl, whisk together the onions, bacon, cheese, eggs, cream, salt, and pepper until combined.
- Pour the mixture into the prebaked par crust and spread out the ingredients in the pie crust.
- Bake at 25 to 30 minutes or until lightly browned on top and cooked throughout.
- Rest for 15 minutes, slice, and serve.
Notes
How to Reheat: When reheating it, simply place your desired portion onto a pan, cover with foil and bake at 350° for5-6 minutes or just until warm. You do not want to overcook the eggs. Likewise, you can reheat it in the microwave as well.
How to Store: You can store it in the refrigerator for up to 4 days, covered in plastic wrap or an airtight container. Quiche does not freeze well and is not recommended because so much moisture will be lost in the thawing and re-cooking process.
Make-Ahead: Simply par-bake the crust, make your egg filling, and chill them separately until the day of your event. It will hold for 2 days. For the day you want to serve it, add the egg filling to the pie crust and bake it just like in the instructions, and you are ready to go!
