Quiche Lorraine

Quiche. Lorraine is a classic French Dish

The recipe comes from Lorraine, east part of France

Ingredients for 4 to 6 people :

Filling :
- 200 gr [7 oz] lardoons (diced bacon)
- 6 eggs
- 20 cl [7 fl oz] single cream
- 60 gr [2 oz] of thinly semi soft cheese
- 1 tomato
- 1 Tbspoon of Dijon mustard
- salt, pepper & grated nutmeg

Shortcrust pastry :

- 200 gr [7oz] plain flour
- 100 gr [3
1/2 oz] butter (unsalted)
- 5 to 10 cl water [2 to 3 fl oz]
- 1 pinch of salt


 

Recipe :

If you chose to make your own pastry :
In an electric mixer, put the flour and the salt ; turn mixer on and add the butter cut in small cubes while mixing for another 15 seconds ; still mixing, add the first 3 spoons of water and then one by one slowly until the dough becomes a ball. Stop adding water right away (the ball must not stick). Leave the paste in a salad bowl for at least 30 minutes (with a bit of flour on bottom).

Make the Quiche :
1-Pre-heat oven 200°C/400°C ; butter the pie dishes ; cut the tomato into thin slices.
2- Spread directly the pastry in the pie dishes with your fingers (using flour to help, push dough from middle to sides of dishes). Let the pastry stand a bit higher than the dish edge.
3- Bake the pastry for 5 to 10 minutes ; get them out before they shrink, adjust sides if needed.
4- Fry the lardoons in a pan, stirring occasionally, until they get brown and crisp.
5- In the meantime, beat the eggs with a fork in a bowl and add the cream and seasoning.
6- Pour the lardoons in the beaten eggs, leaving the fat from cooking inside the pan ; beat again to mix.
7- For each pie dish, brush the case with the Dijon mustard, cover with sliced cheese, then with sliced tomatoes ; pour the eggs mixture on top (divide equally the lardoons).
8- Bake for 15 to 20 minutes if unitary pie dish ; add 10 minutes if you use a one single large dish.

Serve warm in the individual pie dish, ideally with a lettuce.

TRICK : you can chose to buy the crust or a puff pastry for a gain of time and facility reasons. Your quiche will become much easier and quicker to make, while staying a very good recipe...
