Equipment

  • Pie dish
  • Large Mixing Bowl
  • Whisk
  • Rolling Pin
  • Baking Sheet
  • Cheese grater

Ingredients
  

  • 1 pkg PIE CRUST
  • 6 large EGGS
  • 1.5 cups HEAVY CREAM
  • 1.5 cups GRUYERE CHEESE
  • 8 slices BACON
  • 2 tbsp CHIVES
  • 1 pinch NUTMEG
  • 0.5 tsp SALT
  • 0.25 tsp BLACK PEPPER

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 375 degrees now. Roll out your pie dough carefully. Fit it into your pie dish. Trim the edges to look neat.
  • Place a piece of foil over the crust. Fill it with dried beans or weights. Bake it for eight minutes first. This keeps the bottom very crisp.
  • Remove the weights and the foil carefully. Bake the crust for five more minutes. Let it cool on the counter. This prevents a soggy bottom later.
  • Whisk the eggs and heavy cream together. Add the salt, pepper, and nutmeg now. Mix until the liquid is very smooth. Do not over-beat the eggs.
  • Sprinkle the crispy bacon in the crust. Add the grated cheese on top. Pour the egg mixture over the fillings. Fill it almost to the top.
  • Place the dish in the hot oven. Bake it for thirty to thirty-five minutes. The center should be slightly wiggly. Let it sit before you slice.

Notes

  • Use very cold butter for the pie crust.
  • Do not over-mix the egg and cream liquid.
  • Always pre-bake the crust to avoid sogginess.
  • Let the quiche rest for ten minutes after.
  • Use fresh herbs for a much better aroma.
