THE BEST QUICHE LORRAINE
Perfect for breakfast, lunch or dinner, this traditional French quiche is filled with crispy bacon, soft, sweet onions and nutty Gruyere, all nestled in a tender pastry crust. In the shop windows of Paris you will often see quiche several inches high and brimming with filling. While it is absolutely magnifique, it is also incredibly time-consuming and technically challenging for the home cook. In our version, we use a shorter tart pan so there's less fussing with large volumes of dough, and a reduced amount of custard cuts the baking time in half. And although you do need to refrigerate the dough twice, it's worth it. The pastry is extra buttery and keeping it chilled makes it easier to work with and results in a light flaky crust.

Steps:
- For the pastry crust: Pulse the flour and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a food processor until combined. Add the butter and pulse until the flour looks like cornmeal. Sprinkle in 3 tablespoons ice water and pulse until the dough begins to come together. Pinch the dough with your fingers; if it doesn't hold together, add up to 2 more tablespoons ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, and pulse again.
- Transfer the dough to a sheet of plastic wrap and pat into a disc. Wrap tightly and refrigerate until firm, at least 1 hour and preferably overnight.
- Lightly flour a work surface, then roll the dough into an 11-inch round, about 1/8 inch thick. Center the dough in a 9-inch fluted tart pan with removable bottom, with an even overhang of dough all around. Press the dough into the edges of the pan and the fluted sides. Roll the rolling pin over the top to cut off the extra dough (discard the extra). Poke the bottom and sides all over with a fork. Chill until completely cold, about 30 minutes.
- Meanwhile, position an oven rack in the lower third of the oven and preheat to 375 degrees F.
- Press a piece of parchment over the chilled crust, then fill with pie weights, raw beans or rice. Put the pan on a baking sheet. Bake until the crust is set and golden around the edges, about 40 minutes. Carefully remove the parchment and weights. Return to the oven and bake until the crust is dry and slightly golden, about 15 minutes more. Let cool completely, about 30 minutes.
- For the filling: Combine the butter, onion, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/2 cup water in a medium skillet over medium-low heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are completely softened and all the water has evaporated, about 30 minutes.
- Meanwhile, cook the bacon in a separate medium skillet over medium-low heat, stirring, until the fat has rendered and the bacon is crisp, 10 to 15 minutes.
- When the onions have cooked for 30 minutes, add the bacon using a slotted spoon, then stir in 1 teaspoon of the thyme and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Spread the onion mixture in the bottom of the crust and sprinkle with the Gruyere. Whisk together the cream, eggs and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a medium bowl until combined. Pour the cream mixture over the filling in the crust and top with the remaining 1 teaspoon thyme.
- Bake the quiche on the baking sheet until set and golden, about 30 minutes. Let cool at least 30 minutes before serving.
AUTHENTIC QUICHE LORRAINE
Quiche Lorraine is from the North East region of France which borders, Belgium, Germany and Luxembourg. This is a dish for all meals: breakfast, brunch, lunch or dinner. This has such a rich custard like texture with a salty cheese and bacon flavors what is not to love!

AUTHENTIC QUICHE LORRAINE
Delicious quiche with homemade crust (it's worth it). It's my understanding that the addition of cheese to quiche is not common in France, and the addition of onions to a Quiche Lorraine transforms it into Quiche Alsacienne (from the region of Alsace rather than the region of Lorraine). Regardless, "Classic French Cooking" by Luard, the source of this recipe, includes neither. Note that crust can be pre-made the night before, although it may dry a little.

Steps:
- Sift flour with 1/2 tsp salt. Cut in 1 stick chilled butter. Mix by hand (use your fingers) until it forms into little chunks about the size of large grains of rice.
- Fork 1 egg yolk with 2 tbsp cold water. Combine with dry ingredients and work by hand until it forms a large ball of dough. Add up to 1 more tbsp of cold water if needed.
- Wrap in plastic-wrap and let sit in a cool place 30 minutes.
- Heat oven to 400. Roll dough until big enough to place in a 10" tart pan.
- Grease tart pan before placing dough in it. Gently move dough to tart pan. Do not stretch it. Trim as needed and use trimmings to patch any tears that may have developed.
- Prick pastry with a fork. Line with foil, shiny-side down, and fill with a little dry rice or beans to ensure that the foil stays in place. Bake 10 minutes.
- Remove rice or beans. Remove foil. Bake 5 minutes more. Allow to cool.
- Reduce oven heat to 300.
- Fry bacon in 1 tbsp butter.
- In a large bowl mix 4 eggs with the cream. Mix thoroughly but do not beat or whip. Stir in bacon, nutmeg, and salt and pepper to taste.
- Ensure that oven temperature has dropped to 300. Bake 25-30 minutes. Best when served immediately, as it cools quickly.
QUICHE LORRAINE
The first quiche to come to the attention of the American public was the quiche Lorraine in the 1950s. Since then we have gone through what has amounted to the quiching of America. Like ice cream, the quiche appears in all flavors -- from asparagus to zucchini. This recipe makes enough filling for a pie dish. If you use a tart pan, expect to have extra custard.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
- Line a nine-inch pie plate with the pastry. By all means build a rim with the pastry and flute it. This is essential for the amount of custard indicated in this recipe.
- Cover the bottom of the pastry with a round of parchment paper and add enough dried beans or peas to partly fill the shell. Bake 10 minutes.
- Reduce the oven heat to 375 degrees. Remove and discard the beans and parchment paper and set the pastry-lined pie plate aside.
- Cook the bacon until crisp and remove it from skillet. Pour off all but one tablespoon of the fat remaining in the skillet. Cook the onion in the remaining fat until the onion is transparent.
- Crumble the bacon and sprinkle the bacon, onion and cheeses over the inside of the partly baked pastry.
- Combine the eggs, cream, nutmeg, salt, pepper and Tabasco sauce to taste. Strain the mixture over the onion-cheese mixture. Slide the pie onto a baking sheet.
- Bake the pie until a knife inserted one inch from the pastry edge comes out clean, about 25 minutes. Remove to a wire rack. Let stand five or 10 minutes before serving.
CHEF JOHN'S QUICHE LORRAINE
In my opinion, a proper quiche should be rich, custardy, and luxurious--not some kind of dense, baked omelet. This has only enough eggs and yolks to hold things together, but that means you need to let it cool to just warm before serving, to fully enjoy the experience.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
- Roll pie dough to fit a 9 inch pie plate. Place bottom crust in pie plate and chill for at least 20 minutes before baking. Line the chilled pie crust with foil and fill halfway up with dried beans, rice, or baking weights. Bake in the preheated oven for 7 minutes. Remove foil and weights and bake until golden brown, about 5 minutes.
- Reduce oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
- Cook bacon in a skillet over medium heat until browned and cooked through, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from pan to drain. Blot out some of the oil from the skillet, leaving 1 to 2 teaspoons. Add leeks, onion, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. Cook and stir until tender and golden brown, 5 to 7 minutes. Set aside.
- Whisk eggs, egg yolks, cream, and milk together in a large bowl. Add thyme and stir to combine.
- Sprinkle 2/3 of onion-leek mixture on the bottom of the baked crust. Top with 1/3 cooked bacon and 2/3 Gruyere cheese. Ladle in egg mixture carefully. Sprinkle with remaining onion-leek mixture, remaining bacon, and remaining Gruyere cheese.
- Bake filled quiche in the preheated oven until browned and set, and no longer jiggly in the center, 40 to 45 minutes. Allow to cool slightly before serving.

Steps:
- For the pastry, put 175g plain flour, 100g cold butter, cut into pieces, 1 egg yolk and 4 tsp cold water into a food processor. Using the pulse button, process until the mix binds.
- Tip the pastry onto a lightly floured surface, gather into a smooth ball, then roll out as thinly as you can.
- Line a 23 x 2.5cm loose-bottomed, fluted flan tin, easing the pastry into the base.
- Trim the pastry edges with scissors (save any trimmings) so it sits slightly above the tin (if it shrinks, it shouldn't now go below the level of the tin). Press the pastry into the flutes, lightly prick the base with a fork, then chill for 10 mins.
- Put a baking sheet in the oven and heat oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6. Line pastry case with foil, shiny side down, fill with dry beans and bake on the hot sheet for 15 mins.
- Remove foil and beans and bake for 4-5 mins more until the pastry is pale golden. If you notice any small holes or cracks, patch up with pastry trimmings. You can make up to this point a day ahead.
- While the pastry cooks, prepare the filling. Heat a small frying pan, tip in 200g lardons and fry for a couple of mins. Drain off any liquid that comes out, then continue cooking until the lardons just start to colour, but aren't crisp. Remove and drain on paper towels.
- Cut three quarters of the 50g gruyère into small dice and finely grate the rest. Scatter the diced gruyère and fried lardons over the bottom of the pastry case.
- Using a spoon, beat 200ml crème fraîche to slacken it then slowly beat in 200ml double cream. Mix in 3 well beaten eggs. Season (you shouldn't need much salt) and add a pinch of ground nutmeg. Pour three quarters of the filling into the pastry case.
- Half-pull the oven shelf out and put the flan tin on the baking sheet. Quickly pour the rest of the filling into the pastry case - you get it right to the top this way. Scatter the grated cheese over the top, then carefully push the shelf back into the oven.
- Lower the oven to 190C/fan 170C/gas 5. Bake for about 25 mins, or until golden and softly set (the centre should not feel too firm).
- Let the quiche settle for 4-5 mins, then remove from the tin. Serve freshly baked, although it's also good cold.
