How to Make Quiche Lorraine

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 350 degrees.

Prepare your pie pan with your unbaked pie crust.

Pre-bake your pie crust for 8 minutes.

Meanwhile, cook bacon in a skillet.

Once cooked, remove bacon to a plate and chop.

Remove most of the grease from the pan and add onion. Sauté for 2 minutes.

Layer the bottom of the pie crust with cheddar and Swiss cheeses. Add bacon and onion on top.

Mix the eggs, cream, milk, and spices in a bowl. Gently stir while pouring over crust to evenly distribute all of the spices.

Sprinkle shredded parmesan cheese on top.

Bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes - 1 hour, until the center of the quiche is just set.

Remove from oven and allow to cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing.
