Easy Quiche Lorraine Recipe | Delicious & Easy Brunch Idea

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.

Roll out the pie crust and fit it into a quiche pan, trimming the edges.

Cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy, then drain and crumble.

Sauté the sliced onion in the bacon fat until translucent.

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

Stir in the crumbled bacon, sautéed onion, gruyere cheese, salt, and pepper.

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

Bake until the quiche is set and golden on top.

Let the quiche cool for a few minutes before slicing.
