Quiche Lorraine

Sharlene~W's Note:

I have used this tried and true recipe for many years. It is from an old Betty Crocker Cookbook. A few reviewers have mentioned the onions don't cook enough. Please note that the instructions say "minced onions". It is a very small cut. If you don't intend to cut the onions that small, please do sauté them first. I have great results every time I have made this quiche using a ready from the freezer 9-inch pie crust.

• Total Time: 1 hrs
• Prep Time: 15 mins
• Cook Time: 45 mins

Ingredients:

Servings: 6

• 1 (9 inch) pastry dough (I use frozen)
• 12 slices bacon, crisply fried and crumbled
• 1 cup shredded swiss cheese
• 1/3 cup minced onion
• 4 eggs
• 2 cups whipping cream
• 3/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon sugar
• 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper

Directions:

1. Heat oven to 450°F.
2. Sprinkle bacon, cheese and onion in pastry-lined pie pan.
3. Whisk eggs slightly, Beat in remaining ingredients.
4. Pour mixture into pie pan.
5. Bake for 15 minutes at 450°F.
6. Reduce oven temperature to 300°F.
7. Bake an additional 30 minutes.
8. Quiche is done when knife inserted 1 inch from edge comes out clean.
9. Important--let stand 10 minutes before cutting.

We made this for our Easter Brunch and it was delicious. This is such an easy dish for brunch. I always have these ingredients on hand and its a cinch to prepare. Thank you so much for sharing this recipe with us.

This is my favourite recipe. Almost the same but I mix the swiss with Gruyere equal portions. I did learn while living in Europe the Lorraine which is a provence in France has no cheese so I was told this is really a quiche. Anyway its delicious and thanks for sharing with everyone.

I've made this quiche for over 15 years and it's always a hit. I do sautee the onions before adding them in. In my old book it says to sautee them in the bacon grease. Bad for you...but YUM!! This is a hit with my hubby & 3 kids. I have to make 2 because they quickly go through 1. Thanks for posting this!
