Tips For Baking Quiche Lorraine
Cover your pie crust with aluminum foil if it starts to get to dark on the edges but the middle is still not done. Or get fancy with an adjustable pie crust shield.
Turn on the broiler for a couple minutes at the end of cooking (watching carefully) if the top of the Quiche Lorraine is not browning.
Time Saving Tips For Making Bacon and Swiss Quiche:
Buy pre-cooked bacon and pre-shredded swiss cheese to make this quiche recipe even easier.
Some grocery stores sell cooked bacon in their buffet. Grab some cooked bacon from the salad or breakfast buffet or buy it already cooked in a package if trying to save time in the kitchen.
Buy a frozen pre-made pie crust bottom and save yourself a ton of time. Keep the pie crust frozen. Pull it directly out of the freezer to layer in the ingredients and cook.
Again, don't defrost the crust! Take pre-made pie crust out of the freezer, fill it with the swiss and bacon quiche ingredients, and pop it in the oven.
Serving Sizes: 6 Pieces
Ingredients:
-1 pre-made frozen pie crust
-4 medium eggs, beaten
-1 ¼ cup half and half
-8 slices (~8 ounces) bacon, cooked & sliced
-¼ cup shallots or onions, finely diced
-4 ounces (1 cup) Swiss cheese, grated
-½ teaspoon salt
-½ teaspoon black pepper
-¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
Instructions:
Cook bacon:
-Preheat oven to 375F.
-Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil (makes pans easier to clean).
-Lay bacon on the sheet, careful to not overcrowd. Cook bacon directly on the sheet and not on a rack (it cooks faster and stays moister this way).
-Cook ~13-20 minutes (no need to turn) depending on thickness or until desired doneness.
-Lay bacon on rack or on paper towel lined plate. Cool and slice.
Make Quiche Lorraine:
-In a bowl whisk together: eggs, salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Mix in half and half slowly.
-Layer the shallots, bacon, and cheese in the frozen pie crust.
-Pour egg mixture over the top (you may have a little extra if your eggs were large).
-Bake for 45-50 minutes or until a knife in the center comes out clean and the top is turning a slight brown. Cover your pie crust with a pie shield or aluminum foil if it's browning too fast. Same for the middle - cover with aluminum foil if it's browning on the top but not cooked in the middle.
-Let sit ~ 15 minutes before slicing.
Happy Eating!
