- 40 minutes to make
- Serves 8
This is an original recipe from a chef in France. I have never tasted a better quiche and have eaten more than I should ever admit too. Make it, bake it, get a fork, a DVD and eat the whole thing, don’t share Well unless you have to!
Ingredients
- 1 single pastry shell shopping list
- 3/4b bacon (uncooked) shopping list
- 1/2 lb swiss cheese (grated) shopping list
- 4 eggs shopping list
- 1 tsp. flour shopping list
- 1/2 tsp. salt shopping list
- 1/8 - 1/4 tsp. cayenne pepper shopping list
- 1/8 - 1/4 tsp. nutmeg shopping list
- 2 cups milk shopping list
- 1 tsp. melted butter shopping list
- Optional: shopping list
- chopped onions shopping list
- green chiles on the bottom layer (full chili) shopping list
- Chopped chiles throughout mixture shopping list
- No bacon for Vegetarians shopping list
How to make it
- Line a 9” pan (quiche pan if available) with pastry.
- Fry bacon until crisp (you will be breaking it up later)
- Grate cheese, and then mix cheese and broken up fried bacon in a bowl.
- Beat eggs in a bowl. Add flour, salt, cayenne and nutmeg, mix lightly.
- Add milk, melted butter, mix lightly.
- Layer the grated cheese and bacon into the pastry.
- Pour the mixture (it is referred to as custard) over the cheese and bacon.
- Bake at 375 degrees for 40-45 minutes until set. It should get a little brown here and there on the top.
- Allow too rest for about 15 minutes or until you can’t stand it any more, cut into wedges (if sharing) or grab a fork and eat until you can’t get another bite in. OH MAN, this is good stuff.
- A great recipe that can be heated up later in the microwave. OH Man, this is good stuff.
- I peeled the top off in the last couple of pics to show how juciy the quiche is and these were pics of the quiche microwaved about a minute the next day. The slice should be cut into three pieces and spread out evenly around the plate for even heating.
