How to Make Mom's French Cheese Pie Quiche Lorraine
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Cook 4 slices bacon until crisp. Remove from pan, set aside, and reserve 1 tablespoon of bacon fat.
- Add 1/2 cup chopped onion to the pan with reserved bacon fat. Cook over medium heat until softened and translucent (about 5 minutes), do not brown.
- In a large bowl, whisk together 4 large eggs, 1/2 cup light cream or half-and-half, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and a pinch of black pepper.
- Crumble or chop the cooked bacon into bite-sized pieces.
- Place a 9-inch pre-made pie crust in a pie plate.
- Evenly distribute the cooked bacon, sautéed onions, and 1 1/2 cups shredded Gruyère cheese (or your favorite cheese) in the bottom of the pie crust.
- Pour the egg mixture evenly over the filling.
- Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the quiche is set and lightly golden brown. A knife inserted near the center should come out clean.
- Let cool for 5 minutes before slicing and serving. Serves 6.
