Quiche Lorraine

Quiche Lorraine
Serve It For Breakfast, Lunch And Dinner!
Difficulty: Easy

Serve With A Spring Salad.
 
Ingredients
1 prepared pie dough
6 ounces thick cut bacon, cut into narrow strips (or “ lardons”)
3 large eggs
2 large egg yolks
1 1/4 cups half-and-half
1/4 cup green onions, chopped
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp ground white pepper
Pinch freshly grated nutmeg
1 cup grated Gruyere or Swiss

Directions
Preheat the oven to 375 Degrees F. Place pastry pie dough in a 8-9 inch pie dish.
Line the pastry with parchment paper and fill with pie weights or dried beans. Bake until the crust is set, 12 to 14 minutes. Remove the paper and weights and bake until golden brown, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and cool on a wire rack. Leave the oven on.
In a medium skillet, cook the bacon until crisp and the fat is rendered, about 5 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Discard the fat or reserve for another use. Arrange the bacon evenly over the bottom of the baked crust. In a large bowl, beat the eggs, yolks, green onion and half and half. Add the remaining ingredients and whisk to combine. Pour into the prepared crust and bake until the custard is golden, puffed, 30 to 35 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool on a wire rack for 15 minutes.
Serves 6
