Quiche Lorraine Pie | 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.

Prepare the pie crust by mixing flour, salt, cold butter, cold water, and egg yolk, then roll it out and fit it into a pie dish.

Cook the bacon until crispy, then drain and crumble it.

Sauté the diced onion in the bacon fat until caramelized.

In a bowl, whisk together the eggs and heavy cream until combined.

Stir in the crumbled bacon, sautéed onion, salt, black pepper, and chili powder if using.

Pour the filling into the prepared pie crust, spreading it evenly.

Bake in the preheated oven until the quiche is set and golden on top.
