Time 2h

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 large egg
6 tablespoons whole milk
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted, plus more for the pan
2 tablespoons chopped fresh herbs
1/8 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon unsalted butter
1/4 cup sliced onion
2 strips bacon, cooked and crumbled
4 large eggs
6 ounces whole milk (3/4 cup)
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1 ounce cheddar cheese, shredded (about 1/4 cup)

Steps:

  • Make the crepes: In a blender, combine all of the crepe ingredients (except the butter for coating the pan) and 1/4 cup water. Pulse 10 seconds. Place the crepe batter in the refrigerator for 1 hour; this allows the bubbles to subside so the crepes will be less likely to tear during cooking. The batter will keep for up to 48 hours in the refrigerator.
  • Heat a small (about 6-inch) nonstick skillet over medium-low heat. Add butter to coat. Pour a scant 1/4 cup batter into the center of the pan and swirl to spread evenly. Cook 30 seconds and flip. Cook 10 more seconds and remove to a cutting board. Repeat until all of the batter is gone, laying the crepes out flat so they can cool. After they have cooled, you can stack them and refrigerate in sealed plastic bags for several days or freeze for up to 2 months.
  • Make the quiches: Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. In a small saute pan, melt the butter and sweat the onion until translucent. In a small bowl, mix the onion and crumbled bacon together. In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs with the milk and season with salt and pepper.
  • In a nonstick 6-cup muffin tin, place one crepe in each cup. Make sure the edges of the crepes are slightly pleated and overlap the edges of the cups slightly. Spoon the bacon and onion mixture into each cup. Distribute the cheese evenly among the cups. Pour the egg mixture into the cups so all the quiches are the same size. Transfer to the oven; bake 25 to 30 minutes, or until the egg mixture is completely set. Let rest 5 minutes before serving.

This recipe was a disaster! The crepes were too thick and the filling was bland.

I had some trouble getting the crepes to cook evenly. Other than that, the quiche was delicious.

This quiche was a bit too rich for my taste, but it was still good.

I'm not a big fan of quiche, but this one was amazing! The crepes made all the difference.

This is the best quiche I've ever had! The crepes make it so much more special than a traditional quiche.

I used Gruyère cheese instead of Swiss cheese, and it was delicious!

I added some chopped fresh herbs to the filling, which really brightened up the flavor.

This is a great recipe for a brunch or lunch dish. It's also easy to make ahead of time, which is a bonus.

I wasn't sure how the crepes would hold up in the quiche, but they were perfect! They stayed nice and tender, even after baking.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover crepes. I usually make a double batch of crepes on the weekend, and then use them to make this quiche during the week.

I've made this quiche several times now, and it's always a crowd-pleaser.

This crepe quiche Lorraine was a hit with my family! The combination of the crispy crepes and the creamy, cheesy filling was perfect. I especially loved the addition of the bacon, which added a nice smoky flavor.
