Ingredients

  • •1 9-inch pie crust (thawed if frozen)
  • •8 slices bacon
  • •1 cup shredded Gruyère cheese
  • •4 large eggs
  • •1 cup heavy cream
  • •1/2 cup whole milk
  • •1/2 teaspoon salt
  • •1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • •1/4 teaspoon nutmeg

Directions

  1. 1Preheat oven to 375°F. Place pie crust in a 9-inch quiche dish.
  2. 2Cook bacon in a skillet until crispy, then crumble into small pieces.
  3. 3Whisk together eggs, cream, milk, salt, pepper, and nutmeg in a bowl until smooth.
  4. 4Sprinkle bacon and cheese evenly over the pie crust.
  5. 5Pour egg mixture carefully over bacon and cheese.
  6. 6Bake for 35-40 minutes until the center is set and top is lightly golden.

💡 Blind-bake the quiche crust until it looks dry before adding the Lorraine filling; a pale, damp base cannot recover once the custard goes in.
