Quiche Lorraine
This classic Quiche Lorraine breakfast dish is a savory pie that features eggs, bacon, and green onions in a flaky pie crust. So hearty and delicious.
In the 90’s they would say real men don’t eat quiche. We have to say, we don’t understand why. Quiche is delicious. What’s not to love about a savory pie? We think this particular recipe deserves to be resurrected and we are brave enough to lead the way. Quiche Lorraine is the most popular quiche flavor combination with all the bacon and the green onions. Mmm …. Mmm …. Good. This is a great Christmas morning breakfast item, a fun treat for a Sunday brunch or even an outside-the-box option for a potluck.

How to make Quiche
Step 1: In a bowl combine eggs, milk, salt, and pepper.
Step 2: Add cooked and crumbled bacon and onions a mix.
Step 3: In a separate bowl (or Ziploc bag) combine grated cheese and flour. Make sure cheese is completely coated with flour. If you are using pre-shredded cheese, you can skip this step. Add cheese to egg mixture.
Step 4: Thoroughly combine.
Step 5: Prepare a single pie crust for a 9″ pie pan.
Step 6: Bake the pie crust in a 400 oven for 10 minutes. Remove pie crust from the oven and lower the oven temperature to 325 degrees.
Step 7: Pour egg mixture into the hot pastry crust and bake in a 325 oven for 35-40 minutes.
Step 8: To check doneness insert a knife into the center of the quiche. It should come out clean. The center will have a slight wobble but will be set. Check the quiche after 30 minutes. If the crust is browning too quickly, cover the edges with foil. Let stand for 15 minutes before serving.
Expert Tips and FAQs
You coat the cheese with flour so it won’t sink to the bottom of the quiche. Most pre-shredded cheeses are already coated in cellulose, which they use to prevent the cheese from sticking together in the bag, so you don’t need to add the flour.
