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.

1

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).

2

Prepare a 9-inch pre-baked pie crust, which can be made a day in advance and stored at room temperature.

3

Steam 7 ounces (200 grams) of fresh spinach in a pot until wilted, about 2-4 minutes, tossing occasionally.

4

Run the wilted spinach under cold water to preserve color, then squeeze out excess water and blot with paper towels.

5

Cook 4 strips of bacon in a pan until crispy, then blot with paper towels and cut into bite-sized pieces.

6

In the same pan, sauté 1/4 cup (60 milliliters) diced shallots in a tablespoon of bacon fat or oil until softened, seasoning with salt and pepper.

7

Combine the sautéed shallots, bacon, and spinach in a bowl.

8

In a mixing bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs and 1 large egg yolk.

9

Add 1/2 cup (120 milliliters) heavy cream and 2/3 cup (160 milliliters) milk to the eggs, mixing well.

10

Season the custard with salt, black pepper, and a pinch of cayenne pepper.

11

Add 1/2 cup (120 milliliters) grated Parmesan cheese to the custard mixture and stir to combine.

12

Pour the custard mixture over the spinach, bacon, and shallots in the pie crust.

13

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, until the top is browned and the custard is set.

14

Let the quiche cool for about 15 minutes before slicing.
