This is a favorite of ours! You can make it with a 9 inch pie pan or use a mini cupcake pan for appetizers. A salad makes a great side dish!
1-9inch single pie crust
12 slices or less of bacon (Optional)
1 cup shredded Swiss Swiss Cheese(We like to use Swiss Loraine Cheese
1/3 cup minced onion
1 cup of chopped vegetables(Optional)*Please remember when you add vegetables: the more watery the vegetables are the longer it will take to cook.
4 eggs, beaten
2 cups of light cream
3/4 teaspoon of salt
1/4 teaspoon of white sugar
1/8 teaspoon of cayenne pepper
Preheat oven to 425 degrees
Place pie crust on counter to thaw a little.
It makes it easier to unroll.
In a skillet:
Cook bacon until crispy.
Drain on a paper towel.
Chop coarsely.
Prepare onions,vegetables (if using any)and cheese.
Place shell into pie dish.
Sprinkle onions, vegetables, cheese, and bacon into pie crust.
In a medium bowl:
Whisk together eggs, cream, salt, sugar and cayenne pepper.
Pour into pie crust.
Bake for 15 mins in preheated oven.
Reduce heat to 300 degrees and cook for another 30 mins or until a insert a knife into center until it comes out clean.
Allow quiche to sit for 10 mins before cutting.
Mmmm, I love quiche! If I don't feel like dirtying an extra pan, I'll used diced ham instead of bacon. Not really "Lorraine" anymore, but just as good :)
