    Quiche Lorraine is the famous open tart of creamy egg custard and smoked bacon baked in a buttery pastry shell. The filling is silky, the crust crisp, and the flavor simple enough to make it a timeless favorite for any meal of the day.

    From the Lorraine region of northeastern France, it is traditionally served warm or at room temperature with a green salad. It slices beautifully for lunch, picnics, or a light supper, and leftovers are delicious the next day.

    Step by stepInstructions

    1. Blind-bake the pie crust at 375°F for 15 minutes with pie weights, remove the weights, and bake 5 minutes more.
    2. Cook the bacon in a skillet until crisp; drain on paper towels.
    3. Whisk the eggs, cream, milk, salt, nutmeg, and pepper until smooth.
    4. Scatter the bacon and Gruyère in the crust, then pour the custard over the top.
    5. Bake at 350°F for 35 to 40 minutes, until just set with a slight wobble in the center. Rest 10 minutes before slicing.

    💡 Chef tips & storage

    A purist's quiche Lorraine has no cheese — but a little Gruyère never hurt anyone. Serve warm or at room temperature with a crisp green salad.
