( Episode 38 ) Quiche Lorraine Recipe | Uncle Giuseppe's Recipes

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.

Pre-bake the pre-made pie shell until it's set, referred to as a par bake.

In a bowl, combine heavy cream, a good amount of black pepper, a little bit of salt, and a pinch of nutmeg; mix it around.

Add chopped, pre-cooked bacon to the mixture.

Incorporate onions into the mixture.

Add Gruyère cheese into the mixture, piling it high.

Pour the filling into the pre-baked pie shell.

Place the quiche in a 325°F (163°C) oven for about 25 minutes, turning it halfway through the cooking time.

Remove the quiche from the oven once done.
