A classic Quiche Lorraine featuring a crispy crust and rich Gruyère filling, perfect for brunch or light dinners.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 8 tbsp cold cubed unsalted butter
  • 3-4 tbsp ice cold water
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 1/2 cups heavy cream
  • 1 cup shredded Gruyère cheese
  • 6 slices bacon, chopped
  • 1 small onion, chopped (optional)
  • 1/4 tsp nutmeg
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the crust dough: Mix flour and salt, add butter until coarse crumbs form. Add ice water until dough comes together. Form into a disk, wrap in plastic, and chill for 30 minutes.
  2. Cook bacon and onions: Cook chopped bacon until crispy, drain. Sauté onions in bacon fat until soft, then set aside.
  3. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  4. Roll out the dough: Roll chilled dough into a 12-inch circle and transfer to a pie dish.
  5. Blind bake the crust: Line with parchment and pie weights, bake for 15 minutes, remove weights, and bake for an additional 5-7 minutes.
  6. Prepare custard filling: Whisk eggs and cream, then stir in Gruyère, bacon, onions, nutmeg, salt, and pepper.
  7. Assemble and bake: Pour filling into pre-baked crust and bake for 30-35 minutes until set around edges.
  8. Cool and serve: Let quiche rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing.

Notes

For a vegetarian option, omit bacon and add roasted mushrooms or spinach. For a gluten-free version, use a gluten-free flour blend.
