Happy New Year 2020   My newly tweaked favorite recipe for  QUICHE LORRAINE

Happy 2020 New Year to you all 


I have been very tardy ..I do apologize ….Danny has had plenty of vacation time off and then I have been doing some organizing as I often do in January 


Then I restarted Pottery lessons after a 4 week break and have been concentrating on improving my skills to another level this year ..I hope


Here is my new favorite recipe 


It’s Quiche Lorraine which I have made many times but I have tweaked my recipe and Danny and I think it’s the best I have ever made 


Today I am making it for our evening meal with a side of lightly sautéd different colored cherry and grape tomatoes with Baby Bella mushrooms and scallions

You will need 

1 9” unbaked Pillsbury pie crust  or similar

Either 8 slices of bacon or as I used left over cooked ham from Christmas which I had frozen (cut in to 1” pieces)

You could use turkey bacon if you wish

1/2 cup of Green (spring) onions (white and green parts) finely chopped

I/2 cup of Sweet onion finely chopped

salt and freshly ground colored pepper corns to taste

3 large eggs …brown and free range if you can 

2 large egg yolks

1 cup of heavy whipping cream

3/4 cup of milk

1 teaspoon of fresh or dried thyme

6 ounces of grated cheese  …I used Italian blend cheese


Picture
Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C)


Roll pie dough to fit a 9” pie plate…Place bottom crust in pie plate and chill for at least 20 mins before baking .
Line the chilled pie crust with overlapping foil and fill halfway up with dried beans, rice or baking weights …I used dried lima beans 
Bake in the preheated oven for 7 minutes.

Remove foil and beans and bake until golden brown about 5 minutes

Reduce oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C)

If using bacon ( I used already cooked ham so no cooking necessary) Cook bacon in a pan over a medium heat until browned and cooked through about 8-10 mins 
Remove from pan to drain, blot out some of the oil in the pan leaving about 2 teaspoons 

Add Green onions, sweet onions, salt and pepper 
Cook and stir until tender and browned 7 minutes  ..set aside 

Whisk eggs, egg yolks, cream, milk together in a large bowl ..add thyme and stir it in 

Sprinkle 1/3  of onion mixture on the bottom of the baked crust.
Top with 1/3 ham or bacon
Top with 1/3 of the cheese
Ladle in half of the egg mixture
REPEAT
Pour in remaining egg mixture and top with remaining onion mixture, ham(bacon) and cheese 


Bake filled quiche in the preheated oven until browned and set 
BUT NO LONGER JIGGLY IN THE CENTER 
for 40-45 minutes 
​

Allow to cool slightly before serving

Would be lovely with salad  or any of your favorite side dishes 
Enjoy

Happy Cooking and Happy Days
