My step son, Zane, is visiting and he asked me to make my quiche. I honestly have not made it for years. When my daughter-in-law, Arely was pregnant with my grand daughter, Macy.......I had a baby shower for her at my home. I made 8 of these quiches.......to serve and I don't think I have made one since! But, what a great dish for Easter........to serve with your ham.
First........wrap the bottom and up the sides of your 9" spring form pan with tin foil.......if you don't, you will wish you had!
Make or buy a single pie crust..........fit it carefully into the bottom and a little up the sides of a 9" spring form pan. Pat it in smoothly and paint the bottom with an egg white. (This is so the crust doesn't get soggy during baking) Set oven at 350 degrees.
Cook a half pound of bacon and cool and crumble. Sprinkle bacon over the bottom of the pie crust........at this time......you could add anything........broccoli, asparagus, etc........Then sprinkle over the bacon and/or vegy......1 1/2 cup grated Swiss cheese and 1 1/2 cup grated cheddar cheese or your choice.
In a mixing bowl mix up 6 eggs plus one more egg yolk, salt, pepper and a shot of cayenne. Now mix in 3 cups of Half and Half..........Beat JUST til frothy.......just for a minute. Slowly pour this over the bacon covered crust..........Bake 50 to 55 min.........Cool on wire rack at lease 15 min.......then loosen the edges and carefully remove the sides of the spring form pan.
This is the original Quiche Lorraine. You can also add onions. What memories this dish has for me...........
