Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 1 9-inch pie crust, unbaked
- 6 slices of bacon, chopped
- 1 cup of mushrooms, sliced
- 1 cup of Swiss cheese, shredded
- 4 eggs
- 1 cup of heavy cream
- 1/2 teaspoon of salt
- 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon of nutmeg
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Place the pie crust in a 9-inch pie dish and crimp the edges. Set aside.
- In a skillet, cook the chopped bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove the bacon from the skillet and set aside, leaving the bacon drippings in the skillet.
- In the same skillet with the bacon drippings, sauté the sliced mushrooms until they are golden brown and all the liquid has evaporated. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Sprinkle the cooked bacon and sautéed mushrooms evenly over the bottom of the pie crust. Sprinkle the shredded Swiss cheese over the bacon and mushrooms.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Pour the egg mixture over the bacon, mushrooms, and cheese in the pie crust.
- Bake the quiche in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is golden brown.
- Remove the quiche from the oven and let it cool for 10 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
The history of Quiche Lorraine with bacon and mushroom filling dates back to the medieval German kingdom of Lothringen, now known as Lorraine, France. The dish was originally made with a custard filling, but the addition of bacon and mushrooms came later, adding a savory depth to the classic recipe. Renowned French chefs like Julia Child popularized this variation, and it has since become a staple in French cuisine. Today, the best versions of this dish can be found in traditional French bistros and patisseries, where skilled chefs use high-quality bacon and fresh mushrooms to create a rich and flavorful filling. The key to a perfect Quiche Lorraine lies in achieving a delicate, buttery crust and a creamy, well-seasoned filling, with the bacon and mushrooms adding a delicious umami flavor. For a twist on the classic, some chefs also incorporate Gruyère cheese or caramelized onions into the filling, offering a delightful alternative to the traditional recipe.
