Quiche Lorraine
I remember the first time I made Quiche Lorraine. It was a complete disaster! I poured the quiche filling into the pastry crust and I didn’t realise there were little holes in the pastry. The filling seeped out through the holes before it had time to cook. It gathered in a puddle at the bottom of my oven. What an idiot! I’ve since perfected the art of making this Quiche Lorraine recipe and today, I share it with you!
To make this recipe for Quiche Lorraine, you will need to make a pastry crust. Once the crust has chilled in the refrigerator, start making the filling. First, fry the bacon until crispy and scatter it on the pie crust along with Gruyère cheese and shallot. Whisk eggs, cream, cayenne, nutmeg and salt together and pour this egg mixture over the bacon and cheese. Sprinkle the top with the remaining cheese and bake in the oven. Once the quiche sets, slice and serve viagra sin receta!
To make Quiche Lorraine, you will need the following ingredients:
Steps to make Quiche Lorraine
1 | Make pastry crust | 5 |
Mix together 1 ¼ cups of flour and ½ teaspoon of salt in a large mixing bowl. Work ½ a cup of butter cubes into the flour until the mixture resembles large breadcrumbs. | ||
2 | Add water | 35 |
Add one tablespoon of ice water until the mixture comes together as a dough. Form into a disc shape. Wrap the dough disc in plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator for 30 minutes until firm. | ||

Drape the rolled out crust over a 9 inch pie dish. Crimp the edges of the crust and place it in the refrigerator until ready to use. | ||

Cook 8 slices of bacon in a large skillet until it is crispy. This should take about 8 minutes. Transfer the bacon to a plate lined with paper towels to drain the grease. | ||

Takes too long to cook in my opinion but it was alright.
Very filling and affordable meal though not simple I'd say it's something everyone should try to make atleast once.
Another french meal on my list, I'm going on a spree after trying the cheese board and onion tart.
Way too hard to make this mine turned out hard as a rock after letting it cool for an hour..what did I do wrong??
Would add a bit more spices next time but other than that it was good.
Was not expecting to love this as much as I did until I read that it was Jelena who made this!! Now I know why my stomach was crying with joy hahaha.
I tossed more cheese on the top of this and served it with some ice cold tea..perfection on a plate.
Fantastic quiche lorraine never been more proud of myself for making this it was great!!
Oh man I read bacon and gruyere cheese and now I'm trying to make a meal that's hard as hell lol..
Brought some of the leftovers to work with me and have to say this is good both hot and cold, doesn't get soggy and smells AND taste amazing at any time of the day.
This was very challenging to make but worth it as it turned out delicious.
I love this! Delicious Quiche!
