@musicmandarin Thanks! I know it seems strange to use skim milk in a high-calorie dish, but every calorie saved helps!

Betty’s Simple and Elegant Quiche Lorraine Recipe
ADVERTISEMENTS
Welcome back!
In this video, Betty demonstrates her Simple and Elegant Quiche Lorraine Recipe. It is a savory blend of eggs, half-and-half, cheeses, and bacon, cuddled in a crisp crust. Great for entertaining! Ingredients: 1 frozen deep-dish pie crust, thawed 8 slices bacon, crisp and crumbled 1 1/2 cup shredded Swiss cheese 1/2 cup shredded Cheddar cheese 1 1/2 cups half-and-half milk 3 eggs, well-beaten 1/4 teaspoon salt 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper 1/4 teaspoon ground red pepper (This quiche is very spicy. If you like less spice, cut the ground red pepper down to only half as much.) Thaw the deep-dish pie crust, and then bake it for about 6 to 8 minutes in an oven that has been preheated to 425 degrees. Remove from oven and cool to room temperature. Sprinkle 8 slices of crisp, crumbled bacon evenly over the bottom of the pie crust. Next ,sprinkle the shredded Swiss cheese, followed by the shredded Cheddar cheese. Now, blend 1 1/2 cups half-and-half with the 3 well-beaten eggs. Add in 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg, 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper, and 1/4 teaspoon (or less) ground red pepper. Stir thoroughly, until all spices are mixed evenly into the egg/milk mixture. Pour over the bacon and cheeses in the deep-dish pie crust. Reduce oven heat to 375 degrees, and then bake for about 40 minutes, or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean. Let stand at room temperature for 10 minutes. Cut into pie-shaped wedges, and serve …

@KissHope I am delighted that the quiche came out great! The 3 cheeses sound wonderful. “KY wine!” That’s what I should call it! It’s my favorite!

This was excellent Betty the two cheese blend was delish. I added fresh grated parm also, and just loved the texture and taste. Unfornately no fresh tomatoes but some mixed greens and ice tea or KY wine as I call it. Have a super weekend as well, thank you.

Just like another post I love this dish but never have made. I think I will make this tomorrow for brunch with a mixed green. If I had the bottle of Dolce Blush would probably be breaking that open. Sliced fresh tomatoes would be so good too. Thanks again Betty for your wonderful recipes.

@myiphonerocks3gS Thanks for your lovely comment! It is better to precook the crust. Otherwise, it might be a little soggy, but it will work out okay.

Betty, what happens if you don’t cook the crust first? Is it a must to cook crust first? Will it be mushy? I love the way you try to keep it at reduced fat. Ur definitely one of my favorite chefs!

I loved the video and at some stage i`m going to have ago at making a Quiche. But If I might make a suggestion perhaps putting tomato slices on top of the quiche before putting it in the oven may add to the flavor:)
