Featuring eggs as a main dish is just plain smart: They’re economical, versatile and nutrient-dense<\/a>. Go beyond the basic scramble and learn how to make quiche Lorraine, the most famous quiche of them all.<\/p>\n While Lorraine is the region in France that took basic quiche and made it famous, this region kisses the edge of Germany\u2014and the history of quiche Lorraine crosses borders. The word “quiche” actually comes from the German word for cake, kuchen, <\/em>as it is essentially an open-face savory cake.<\/p>\n Quiches typically have a single crust on the sides and bottom, filled with a creamy egg filling and flavored with cheese. While a quiche’s additional ingredients are flexible (think all sorts of vegetables<\/a> and meat), a quiche Lorraine is simply bacon, cheese and onions.<\/p>\n On a lightly floured surface, roll dough to a 14-inch circle. Transfer it to a 9-inch springform pan or deep fluted quiche pan with a removable bottom. Press the pastry firmly against the bottom and sides. Let it chill in the fridge while you make the filling.<\/p>\n In a large skillet, cook bacon pieces over medium heat until it’s nice and crisp. Remove the bacon with a slotted spoon and let it drain on a paper towel-lined plate. Remove all but 1 tablespoon of the bacon drippings, too.<\/p>\n Add onions to the bacon drippings and cook over medium heat until they’re caramelized<\/a>, 20 to 25 minutes. Add thyme, pepper and nutmeg. Remove the onion mixture from the heat and let it cool slightly. Then stir in the cheeses and bacon; spoon the mixture into the pastry.<\/p>\n Editor’s Tip:<\/em> Before you start filling it, place the springform pan on a baking sheet. It will help catch drips and keep your oven clean if the springform isn’t perfectly sealed.<\/p>\n Heat the oven to 350\u00b0F. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, cream and salt. Pour the egg mixture over the onions and bacon.<\/p>\n Bake the quiche for 75 to 85 minutes until the center is puffy and a knife inserted in the middle comes out clean.<\/p>\n Cool the quiche on a wire rack for 15 minutes. Then loosen the sides with a knife and remove the springform rim from the pan. Let the quiche stand an additional 5 minutes before cutting. You can serve slices warm or at room temperature.<\/p>\n It’s best to refrigerate a quiche after baking, as ingredients include milk, cheese, meat and eggs. It’ll last in the fridge for three to four days.<\/p>\n Let the baked quiche Lorraine cool to room temperature. Then wrap it in a double layer of aluminum foil and freeze it for up to one month. The day before you want to serve the quiche, move it to the fridge to let it thaw gradually overnight. Reheat it in a 350\u00b0 oven until the internal temperature reaches 160\u00b0.<\/p>\n Amazing cheese! The easiest way to add flavor to your quiche is by investing in good cheese. Buy a wedge or block and grate it yourself. While the traditional quiche Lorraine calls for Gruyere and Parmesan, get creative here. Go American (more specifically, Wisconsin) and try Uplands Cheese<\/a> Company’s Pleasant Ridge Reserve for the Gruyere and Landmark Creamery<\/a>‘s Pecora Nocciola for the Parmesan. Or use an aged Swiss or Emmentaler for a nutty flavor, or a sharp cheddar.<\/p>\n If you choose to replace the cream with more whole milk, the quiche will be less rich and the texture will be different. Using skim or low-fat milk will also impact flavor and texture.<\/p>\n Making pie crust is easier than people think, but don’t let a fear of making scratch pie crust stop you from making quiche. Buy a high-quality pie crust<\/a> (look for butter in the ingredients).<\/p>\n To make a deep-dish pie crust, it is best to use two single crusts placed on top of one another and roll them out to fit the pan. There will be extra that can be trimmed (cut into fun shapes, brush with egg wash and sprinkle with cinnamon sugar), but the alternative is rolling out a single pie crust too thin and it may shrink during baking, tear or burn.<\/p>\n After making or fitting a pie crust into a springform pan, chill it for at least 15 minutes, or overnight.<\/p>\n Making the crust early is a smart idea, says former Taste Recipes<\/em> deputy culinary editor James Schend<\/a>. The night before you want to bake the quiche, complete Step 1 and let the pastry chill all night. The longer you allow it to chill, the better, he says. The crust will hold its shape more easily, adding more flaky, buttery goodness to every bite.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Learn how to make quiche Lorraine, a simple yet

What’s the secret to making the best quiche Lorraine?<\/h3>\n
Can you use milk instead of heavy cream?<\/h3>\n
Can you use premade crust?<\/h3>\n
Can you make quiche Lorraine ahead of time?<\/h3>\n
Quiche Lorraine Tips<\/h2>\r\n
How can I enhance the flavor of my quiche Lorraine?<\/h3>\r\nSplurge on good-quality cheese to get the best flavor. You\u2019ll be amazed at how much better it will taste. Also, avoid using low-fat dairy products as these tend to have more water in them, which means they won\u2019t produce the same creamy texture full-fat products give you. Have leftover Parmesan cheese to spare? Use it up in these recipes that make the most of Parmesan cheese<\/a>.\r\n
(Here's how to make quiche Lorraine<\/a>, step by step.)How can I save time while making this recipe?<\/h3>\r\nTo save time, make the crust early and place it in the springform pan to chill the night before serving. The more time you allow it to chill, the better. It will hold its shape more easily, adding more flaky, buttery goodness to every bite.\r\n\r\n
How do you freeze quiche?<\/h3>\r\nQuiche is one of the best freezer breakfasts<\/a>! If you have leftover quiche and want to save it for another day or you want to make it ahead of time and freeze it whole, simply let the baked quiche cool to room temperature. Then wrap in a double layer of aluminum foil and freeze for up to 1 month. To use, thaw overnight in the refrigerator; reheat in a 350\u00b0 oven until internal temperature reaches 160\u00b0. \r\n\r\n
How do you make a deep-dish pie crust?<\/h3>\r\nTo make a deep-dish pie crust, combine 1 to 1\/2 cups of all-purpose flour and 1\/4 teaspoon of salt; cut in 2\/3 cup of cold butter until crumbly. Gradually add 3 to 6 tablespoons of ice water, tossing with a fork until dough holds together when pressed. Wrap and refrigerate for an hour or freeze for up to 6 months. (Psst! We recommend using a springform pan<\/a>. It allows for more filling per slice than with a deep-dish pie plate.)\r\n

How can I enhance the flavor of my quiche Lorraine?<\/h3> Splurge on good-quality cheese to get the best flavor. You\u2019ll be amazed at how much better it will taste. Also, avoid using low-fat dairy products as these tend to have more water in them, which means they won\u2019t produce the same creamy texture full-fat products give you. Have leftover Parmesan cheese to spare? Use it up in these recipes that make the most of Parmesan cheese<\/a>.
(Here's how to make quiche Lorraine<\/a>, step by step.)How can I save time while making this recipe?<\/h3> To save time, make the crust early and place it in the springform pan to chill the night before serving. The more time you allow it to chill, the better. It will hold its shape more easily, adding more flaky, buttery goodness to every bite.
How do you freeze quiche?<\/h3> Quiche is one of the best freezer breakfasts<\/a>! If you have leftover quiche and want to save it for another day or you want to make it ahead of time and freeze it whole, simply let the baked quiche cool to room temperature. Then wrap in a double layer of aluminum foil and freeze for up to 1 month. To use, thaw overnight in the refrigerator; reheat in a 350\u00b0 oven until internal temperature reaches 160\u00b0.
How do you make a deep-dish pie crust?<\/h3> To make a deep-dish pie crust, combine 1 to 1\/2 cups of all-purpose flour and 1\/4 teaspoon of salt; cut in 2\/3 cup of cold butter until crumbly. Gradually add 3 to 6 tablespoons of ice water, tossing with a fork until dough holds together when pressed. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for an hour or freeze for up to 6 months. (Psst! We recommend using a springform pan<\/a>. It allows for more filling per slice than with a deep-dish pie plate.)
