Ingredients

  • unbaked 9 inch pie crust
    1
  • slices bacon
    6
  • small onion

    chopped

    1
  • cream or milk
    1 ½ c
  • eggs

    beaten

    3 large
  • salt
    ¼ tsp
  • shredded swiss cheese
    1 ½ c
  • all-purpose flour
    1 tbsp

Directions

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).

  2. 2

    Line pie crust with a double layer of aluminum foil. Bake in the preheated oven for 8 minutes. Remove foil and continue baking until crust is just set, 4 to 5 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).

  3. 3

    Place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain bacon slices on paper towels, crumble, and set aside. Reserve 2 tablespoons bacon grease in the skillet.

  4. 4

    Cook and stir onion in reserved grease in the skillet over medium heat until tender; drain and set aside.

  5. 5

    Mix together milk, eggs, and salt in a large bowl. Stir in bacon and onion. Toss together Swiss cheese and flour in a medium bowl; add to egg mixture and stir well. Pour into par-baked crust.

  6. 6

    Bake in the preheated oven until a knife inserted into the center comes out clean, 35 to 40 minutes. Cover edges of crust with foil if they begin to get too brown. Let quiche cool for 10 minutes before serving.

It's the perfect dish for a leisurely brunch or when you want to impress without the fuss.

What makes this Quiche Lorraine so special is its beautifully balanced flavor profile. The creamy custard filling, nestled within a tender unbaked pie crust, creates a harmonious blend with the smoky crumbled bacon, delicate sweetness of chopped onion, and the irresistible melt of shredded Swiss cheese. It’s a comforting yet refined experience that truly satisfies.

When you slice into this Quiche Lorraine, you'll be greeted by a golden-brown crust encasing a light, custardy filling.

Customization & Serving

For a richer, more indulgent quiche, opt for cream in the filling, as listed in the ingredients. If you prefer a slightly lighter texture, milk works beautifully. While this recipe highlights the classic combination of bacon, onion, and Swiss, you can adjust the amounts of these core ingredients slightly to suit your personal preference for a stronger or milder flavor balance.

This Quiche Lorraine is ideal for a weekend brunch, a special holiday breakfast, or even a delightful light lunch. Serve it alongside a simple green salad dressed with a vinaigrette or a bowl of fresh seasonal fruit for a complete and elegant meal.
