How to Make Quiche Lorraine | Hilah's French Brunch | Hilah Cooking

heavy cream

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: milk + cornstarch

Greek yogurt reduces calories while maintaining creaminess

Gruyère cheese

🥗Healthier: Emmental cheese

💰Cheaper: cheddar cheese

Emmental offers a similar flavor profile at a lower cost.

bacon

🥗Healthier: turkey bacon

💰Cheaper: smoked ham

Turkey bacon is leaner, while smoked ham is often more affordable.

pie crust

🥗Healthier: whole wheat crust

💰Cheaper: store-bought crust

Whole wheat crust adds fiber, while store-bought saves time.

Preheat the oven to 400°F (204°C).

Prepare the pie crust and set it aside.

Cook the bacon until crispy and leave it in the pan.

In a bowl, combine milk and heavy cream.

Add salt and black pepper to the milk and cream mixture.

Grate a little fresh nutmeg into the mixture.

If desired, add cheese to the bottom of the pie crust before adding the bacon.

Carefully pour the custard mixture into the pie crust over the bacon.

Bake in the preheated oven at 400°F for 10 minutes.

Lower the oven temperature to 350°F (177°C) and bake for an additional 20 minutes.

Remove the quiche from the oven; it will puff up and then sink as it cools.
