A few months ago, I made a batch of sweet and savory pie crusts from a Pierre Hermé recipe. They’ve been sitting in my freezer. Waiting. Waiting until I saw a super simple recipe in another book that I bought from France to make a quiche. And thus, a quiche was born and eaten. And boy was it much better than the frozen ones you can buy at Costco.
When my friend ate this, she asked, "no cheese?" That's correct. A traditional quiche lorraine has only cream, bacon, and eggs. But that doesn't mean I won't deviate from it in the future!
Ingredients
pâte brisée – pie crust
150g bacon
3 large eggs
300ml heavy cream or half and half
a pinch of nutmeg
salt and pepper
Recipe from Mon Cours de Cuisine: Les Basiques, by Keda Black (and it looks as if an English translation is coming out!)
1. grease your tart pan and cover it with the dough
2. take off all those extra edges
3. cook your bacon… yum
4. poke holes in your crust and but the bacon in there
5. mix your eggs, cream, nutmeg, salt, and pepper together, then pour it into your mold on top of the pie crust
