2. Ingredients for Quiche Lorraine
- Crust
- 1½ cups flour
- 3-4 Tbsp ice cold water
- Filling:
- 2 cups shredded Swiss or Gruyere cheese
- 2 cups cream (or half & half or milk)
- dash of ground nutmeg
- 4 eggs, beaten
3. Directions:
- Blend flour, salt and butter in a food processor or with a pastry blender.
- Add water and mix just enough to form dough. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate 20-30 minutes.
- Place cold dough into an 11″ tart pan.
- If you have one of these mini dough rollers, it really helps.
- You don’t want to handle the dough much because your hand oils and warmth may effect the dough.
- Push the dough way above the rim of the pan.
- It will shrink significantly while baking.
- Bake 350 degrees for 10 minutes.
- Let cool and start filling it with the Quiche ingredients.
- Mix together cream, eggs and nutmeg.
- Pour liquid over cheese/bacon/onion.
- (If it looks like the liquid is too much for your pan and crust, stop and use the leftover liquid for french toast.)
- Bake on a cookie sheet. 350 degrees, 30 minutes.
- Remove from the oven and let cool 15 minutes.
- If using a two piece tart pan, take a small knife and work your way around all of the scallops of the tart pan and remove from pan onto a serving plate.
