THE BEST QUICHE LORRAINE



The Best Quiche Lorraine image

Perfect for breakfast, lunch or dinner, this traditional French quiche is filled with crispy bacon, soft, sweet onions and nutty Gruyere, all nestled in a tender pastry crust. In the shop windows of Paris you will often see quiche several inches high and brimming with filling. While it is absolutely magnifique, it is also incredibly time-consuming and technically challenging for the home cook. In our version, we use a shorter tart pan so there's less fussing with large volumes of dough, and a reduced amount of custard cuts the baking time in half. And although you do need to refrigerate the dough twice, it's worth it. The pastry is extra buttery and keeping it chilled makes it easier to work with and results in a light flaky crust.

Time 4h15m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 cup all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting (see Cook's Note)
Kosher salt
1 stick (8 tablespoons) cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
3 to 5 tablespoons ice water
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 small yellow onion, very thinly sliced
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 ounces slab bacon, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
2 teaspoons fresh thyme leaves
1/2 cup shredded Gruyere (about 2 ounces)
1 cup heavy cream
2 large eggs

Steps:

  • For the pastry crust: Pulse the flour and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a food processor until combined. Add the butter and pulse until the flour looks like cornmeal. Sprinkle in 3 tablespoons ice water and pulse until the dough begins to come together. Pinch the dough with your fingers; if it doesn't hold together, add up to 2 more tablespoons ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, and pulse again.
  • Transfer the dough to a sheet of plastic wrap and pat into a disc. Wrap tightly and refrigerate until firm, at least 1 hour and preferably overnight.
  • Lightly flour a work surface, then roll the dough into an 11-inch round, about 1/8 inch thick. Center the dough in a 9-inch fluted tart pan with removable bottom, with an even overhang of dough all around. Press the dough into the edges of the pan and the fluted sides. Roll the rolling pin over the top to cut off the extra dough (discard the extra). Poke the bottom and sides all over with a fork. Chill until completely cold, about 30 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, position an oven rack in the lower third of the oven and preheat to 375 degrees F.
  • Press a piece of parchment over the chilled crust, then fill with pie weights, raw beans or rice. Put the pan on a baking sheet. Bake until the crust is set and golden around the edges, about 40 minutes. Carefully remove the parchment and weights. Return to the oven and bake until the crust is dry and slightly golden, about 15 minutes more. Let cool completely, about 30 minutes.
  • For the filling: Combine the butter, onion, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/2 cup water in a medium skillet over medium-low heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are completely softened and all the water has evaporated, about 30 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, cook the bacon in a separate medium skillet over medium-low heat, stirring, until the fat has rendered and the bacon is crisp, 10 to 15 minutes.
  • When the onions have cooked for 30 minutes, add the bacon using a slotted spoon, then stir in 1 teaspoon of the thyme and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Spread the onion mixture in the bottom of the crust and sprinkle with the Gruyere. Whisk together the cream, eggs and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a medium bowl until combined. Pour the cream mixture over the filling in the crust and top with the remaining 1 teaspoon thyme.
  • Bake the quiche on the baking sheet until set and golden, about 30 minutes. Let cool at least 30 minutes before serving.

QUICHE LORRAINE IN 4 EASY STEPS



Quiche Lorraine in 4 easy steps image

Intimidated by quiche and all that pastry making? Try this beginners guide and you'll be surprised how simple it can be

Provided by Good Food team

Categories     Afternoon tea, Dinner, Lunch, Main course, Snack, Supper

Time 1h10m

Yield Cuts into 8 slices

Number Of Ingredients 7

flour, for dusting
500g block ready-to-roll shortcrust pastry
200g smoked streaky bacon, chopped
85g medium cheddar, cut into small cubes
3 eggs, lightly beaten
284ml tub double cream
pinch grated nutmeg

Steps:

  • Roll out pastry and lift into tin: Leave pastry to soften at room temperature so it doesn't crack when rolling. Lightly flour rolling pin and work surface. Gently press top of pastry, from the end closest to you outwards, a few times, turn 90°, then repeat until 1cm thick. Now roll out pastry in one direction only, turning every couple of rolls, to a circle the thickness of a £1 coin. Use the rolling pin to lift pastry up and over tin, floured side facing up.
  • Line the tin and trim the pastry: Smooth pastry over the base of the tin to remove any pockets of air. Gently ease pastry into the inside edge of tin and against the sides. Trim overhanging pastry with kitchen scissors so pastry rises 1cm above the rim. Roll excess pastry into a small ball and use to press pastry into the fluted edges. Chill for 30 mins, covered with cling film. Any left over can be chilled and reused, or frozen for up to a month.
  • Bake the pastry case blind: Heat oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6. Cut a large piece of baking parchment, then scrunch into a ball. Open it out and use to line chilled pastry case, then tip in baking beans with more against the sides, to support pastry wall when baking. Bake on a baking sheet for 15-20 mins until the sides are crisp and set. Remove from oven and carefully lift paper and beans out. Return pastry to oven and cook for another 5 mins or until the base and sides are golden and crisp.
  • Fill pastry case and bake Lower oven to 150C/fan 130C/gas 2. Heat a pan, then fry the bacon until golden. Scatter over the pastry base, discarding excess fat, followed by the cheese. Mix eggs, cream and nutmeg together, then half-fill the case. Rest baking sheet on an oven shelf, then pour in the rest of the mixture. Bake for 30-35 mins or until just set. Remove and allow to cool for 10 mins.

A buttery and flaky crust is filled with a rich custard, caramelized onions, bacon and gruyere cheese. Baked in a pie dish, this classic quiche will never go out of style and is perfect for any meal of the day.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 3h30m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 cup all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 stick cold unsalted butter, cut into small cubes
3 to 4 tablespoons ice water
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 sweet onion, very thinly sliced
Kosher salt
4 slices thick-cut bacon, cut into 1/2-inch strips
1 1/2 teaspoons fresh thyme
1 cup shredded Gruyère cheese (about 4 ounces)
3 large eggs
1 1/2 cups heavy cream
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh chives
Pinch of freshly grated nutmeg
Pinch of cayenne pepper

Steps:

  • Make the crust: Pulse the flour and salt in a food processor. Add the butter and pulse until it looks like coarse meal. Add 3 tablespoons ice water and pulse until the dough starts to come together. Add up to 1 more tablespoon ice water, a little at a time, if necessary. Form the dough into a disk and wrap in plastic wrap. Refrigerate until firm, at least 1 hour or overnight.
  • Remove the dough from the refrigerator and let soften 10 minutes. Unwrap the dough on a floured surface. Roll out the dough into an 11-inch round, lightly dusting with flour as needed and turning the dough occasionally. Carefully transfer to a 9-inch pie plate and crimp the edges with your fingers. Prick the bottom of the crust all over with a fork, then refrigerate until firm, 20 to 30 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 350˚ F. Line the dough with parchment paper and fill with dried beans or pie weights. Put on a baking sheet and bake until lightly golden around the edges, 20 to 25 minutes. Remove the parchment and weights and continue baking until golden brown in the center, 20 to 25 more minutes. Transfer to a rack and let cool completely.
  • Meanwhile, make the filling: Combine the butter, onion and a big pinch of salt in a medium skillet over low heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is very tender and golden brown, 20 to 25 minutes. While the onion cooks, put the bacon in a small nonstick skillet over medium heat and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and crisp, 7 to 10 minutes. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate. Add the bacon to the pan with the onion, along with the thyme.
  • Spread the Gruyère and onion-bacon mixture in the cooled pie crust. Combine the eggs, heavy cream, chives, nutmeg, cayenne and 3/4 teaspoon salt in a large bowl and whisk until combined. Pour into the pie crust. Bake until the quiche is just set and lightly golden brown, 40 to 45 minutes. Let cool before serving.

EASY QUICHE LORRAINE



Easy Quiche Lorraine image

This isn't classic Quiche Lorraine but it is my "go to" never fail recipe. You will never have an underdone center or a watery quiche with this recipe. You can substitute cooked ham with cheddar, cooked sausage with cheddar. Try chorizo and pepper jack cheese or chopped cooked shrimp with a 1/2 t of Old Bay Seasoning. The variation possibilities are up to you. If I have a bit more time I use a packaged roll out crust. The basic "liquid" is the key. Feel free to add veggies but not veggies that will give off too much liquid while baking in the quiche.Mushrooms sauteed in butter are a wonderful addition.

Tips:

  • Use a good quality pie crust. You can make your own or buy a pre-made one. If you're using a pre-made crust, be sure to thaw it according to the package directions.
  • Don't overmix the quiche filling. Overmixing will make the quiche tough. Just mix until the ingredients are combined.
  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients. The better the ingredients, the better the quiche will taste.
  • Don't overcook the quiche. A quiche is done when the center is just set. If you overcook it, the quiche will be dry and tough.
