Quiche

Cultural Context

Originating from the Lorraine region of France, Quiche is a savory custard pie that traditionally features eggs and cream. It was originally a simple dish made by local farmers, but has evolved into a beloved staple in French cuisine, often served at brunch or as a light meal. Today, variations abound globally, with fillings ranging from vegetables to seafood, making it a versatile dish enjoyed in many cultures.

pie crust

🥗Healthier: whole wheat crust

💰Cheaper: store-bought crust

Whole wheat crust adds fiber and nutrients.

1

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

2

Prepare a par-baked pie crust in a 9.5-inch glass Pyrex pie plate and let it cool.

3

In a mixer, combine 3 extra-large eggs and 2 extra-large egg yolks.

4

Add 1 cup of heavy cream, 1/2 cup of whole milk, and 3 tablespoons of sour cream to the eggs in the mixer.

5

Grate 3-4 ounces of Gruyère or Emmental cheese and place the majority in the bottom of the pie crust, reserving some for the top.

6

Cook 3-4 ounces of applewood smoked bacon in a sauté pan until crispy, then drain on paper towels and spread over the cheese in the crust.

7

Boil 2 small Yukon Gold potatoes in cold water until tender, then cool, peel, and dice into small cubes. Spread the potatoes over the bacon in the crust.

8

Caramelize 2 medium onions until soft, about 15-20 minutes, then spread over the potatoes.

9

Mix the egg and cream mixture slowly into the crust, starting from the outside to avoid disturbing the layers.

10

Sprinkle the remaining thyme over the top along with the reserved cheese.

11

Bake in the preheated oven for 50-55 minutes until the edges are firm and the center is slightly jiggly.

12

Let the quiche cool for a few minutes before serving.
