QUICHE LORRAINE



Quiche Lorraine image

The first quiche to come to the attention of the American public was the quiche Lorraine in the 1950s. Since then we have gone through what has amounted to the quiching of America. Like ice cream, the quiche appears in all flavors -- from asparagus to zucchini. This recipe makes enough filling for a pie dish. If you use a tart pan, expect to have extra custard.

Provided by Craig Claiborne

Categories     brunch, dinner, lunch, pies and tarts, main course

Time 45m

Yield 6 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

Pastry for a one-crust nine-inch pie (see pastry recipe)
4 strips bacon
1 onion, thinly sliced
1 cup Gruyère or Swiss cheese, cubed
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
4 eggs, lightly beaten
2 cups heavy cream or 1 cup each milk and cream
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
Tabasco sauce to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
  • Line a nine-inch pie plate with the pastry. By all means build a rim with the pastry and flute it. This is essential for the amount of custard indicated in this recipe.
  • Cover the bottom of the pastry with a round of parchment paper and add enough dried beans or peas to partly fill the shell. Bake 10 minutes.
  • Reduce the oven heat to 375 degrees. Remove and discard the beans and parchment paper and set the pastry-lined pie plate aside.
  • Cook the bacon until crisp and remove it from skillet. Pour off all but one tablespoon of the fat remaining in the skillet. Cook the onion in the remaining fat until the onion is transparent.
  • Crumble the bacon and sprinkle the bacon, onion and cheeses over the inside of the partly baked pastry.
  • Combine the eggs, cream, nutmeg, salt, pepper and Tabasco sauce to taste. Strain the mixture over the onion-cheese mixture. Slide the pie onto a baking sheet.
  • Bake the pie until a knife inserted one inch from the pastry edge comes out clean, about 25 minutes. Remove to a wire rack. Let stand five or 10 minutes before serving.

Tips:

  • Choose the right pan: Use a 9-inch pie plate or a 10-inch tart pan with removable bottom for even cooking and easy slicing.
  • Use high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better the quiche will taste. Use fresh vegetables, high-quality cheese, and flavorful herbs.
  • Don't overbeat the eggs: Overbeating the eggs will make the quiche tough. Just whisk them until they are well combined.
  • Blind-bake the crust: Blind-baking the crust before adding the filling will help to prevent it from becoming soggy.
  • Use a variety of fillings: Quiche is a versatile dish that can be filled with almost anything. Try different combinations of vegetables, meats, and cheeses to create your own unique recipes.
  • Bake the quiche until the center is set: The quiche is done baking when the center is set and the top is golden brown. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean.
  • Let the quiche cool before slicing: Let the quiche cool for at least 15 minutes before slicing to allow the filling to set. This will help to prevent the quiche from falling apart.

Conclusion:

Quiche is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. With its endless variations, there is sure to be a quiche recipe that everyone will love. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give quiche a try. You won't be disappointed!
