Quiche Lorraine
A creamy egg base full of bacon and onions, quiche Lorraine is a classic.
Servings: 8
Calories: 470kcal
Ingredients
- 1/2 pound bacon cut into bite size pieces
- 2 cups yellow onion sliced
- 6 eggs
- 4 yolks
- 1 1/2 cups heavy cream or coconut cream for dairy-free
- 1/2 cup almond or coconut beverage or more cream but the texture will be a bit more dense
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper fresh divided
- 1 1/2 cups Gruyere cheese or dairy-free Swiss
- pinch nutmeg grated
Instructions
- Heat a pan over medium heat and when hot, add the bacon. Cook until the fat is rendered and the bacon is crisp, about 5-10 minutes. Remove the bacon to a paper towel lined plate, leaving the bacon fat in the pan.
- Add the onions to the bacon fat and toss well to coat the onions in oil and cook, stirring occasionally over medium high heat. After softening, stir every 5 minutes as they caramelize, about 30 more minutes. Towards the end you may need to stir more often, and cook to desired color/caramelization, another 5-10 minutes. If things seem like they are burning or sticking too much, add a couple tablespoons of water to the pan and stir well. Set aside to cool.
- While the onions are caramelizing, preheat the oven to 325ºF and grease a pie plate with some oil and set aside.
- Whisk eggs together with salt and pepper and then add the cooled onions, bacon, Gruyere, and nutmeg, stirring to combine evenly.
- Pour into a greased pie pan and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until set, the internal temperature should be 172ºF.
- Allow the quiche to rest for at least 15 minutes before slicing and serving. It must be cooled to be sliceable.
