The Best Quiche Lorraine Recipe I Taste of Home

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.

Chop the bacon beforehand for even cooking in the pan.

Cook the chopped bacon in a skillet until crispy.

Remove the bacon and use the leftover grease to caramelize the onions.

Sauté the chopped onion in the bacon grease until caramelized.

Add black pepper and thyme to the onions while cooking.

In a mixing bowl, combine room temperature eggs, heavy whipping cream, and milk.

Layer the cooked onions, bacon, Gruyere cheese, Parmesan cheese, nutmeg, and salt into the pre-made pie crust.

Pour the egg and cream mixture over the layered ingredients in the crust.

Bake in a springform pan until set and golden on top.
