PREPARATION

Step 1

Prepare Dough

Step 2

Dice butter into small pieces and freeze for 10 minutes. In a mixing bowl, combine flour and salt. Add diced butter. Using your hands, crumble the butter into the flour until it has become pea-sized.

Step 3

Add milk to the dough and knead until a ball is formed. Wrap in plastic and refrigerate for 30 minutes. You could use a store-bought pie crust if desired. However, they usually contain sugar.

Step 4

Prepare Quiche Lorraine

Step 5

Slice bacon and render in a pan on medium heat. Thinly slice shallots. Once the bacon is crispy, discard all but 2 tbsp. of rendered bacon fat.

Step 6

Add the shallots and sweat for 5 minutes. Add heavy cream, salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Remove from the heat and add 1 cup of gruyere cheese.

Step 7

Crack eggs into a large mixing bowl. Whisk to homogenize. Using a ladle, slowly add the warm cream mixture to the eggs until all the cream is added.

Step 8

Preheat an oven to 375 F degrees. Roll out refrigerated dough to ¼” thick or to fit a 9-inch Pie Pan. Crimp the edges at the top and place the pie pan on a baking sheet for ease moving in and out of the oven.

Step 9

Add the quiche base on top of the dough. Top with the remaining half of the gruyere cheese. Bake for 35-40 minutes until the crust is golden and the eggs are cooked through.
