Quiche Lorraine


 

Quiche Lorraine is a classic french savory pie that conquered many hearts around the world. Specially in this time when the outdoor temperatures drop it’s a real treat to have this warm and comforting pie on the table to share with family and friends.


These days this style of a savory pie comes in many varieties but today I’ve chosen to make the classic version with bacon and leek, I only switched the classic French Gruyere cheese for a mix of Swiss Emmental, Holland Gouda and a bit of English Cheddar. It may look like a challenge but honestly when you buy a pre-made pastry it’s easy as pie.


Stay safe and stay healthy my friends!





Ingredients

  • 1 pre-made quiche pastry

  • 4 large eggs

  • 250 gr grated cheese (I use emmental, gouda and cheddar mix)

  • 200 ml cooking cream

  • 250 gr bacon cubes

  • 1 leek

  • 1 small onion

  • Pinch of nutmeg

  • Salt and pepper


Equipment

  • 1 Cutting Board

  • 1 Knife

  • 1 Pan

  • Oven

  • Quiche mold



Preparation



1. Pre-heat the oven to 180 degrees.


2. Put your pastry or pie crust dough into your quiche mold and bake slightly brown, before baking, use a fork to make some tiny holes at the bottom.


3. Set the crust aside to cool down.


4. Meanwhile bake the bacon cubes until slightly brown, when almost done add a small diced onion and let it glaze a bit with the bacon. Put aside.


5. Slice your leek quiet fine and put in a bowl with the onion and bacon cubes.


6. Beat up your 4 eggs with some salt, pepper and nutmeg and add to the bowl.


7. Finally add the cream and the grated cheese and mix it all together.


8. Place this mix in the pre baked pie crust and bake for about 40-45 minutes. After taking it out the oven let it set for about 5 minutes and serve straight away. A good quiche is also still delicious to serve cold the day after should you have any leftovers. Enjoy!
