Ingredients
- 1 sheet puff pastry sheet
- 6 slices bacon
- 4 eggs
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 0.5 cup whole milk
- 1 cup grated Gruyère cheese
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.125 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Step 2
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the puff pastry sheet to fit a 9-inch tart pan. Carefully line the pan with the pastry, trimming off any excess dough. Prick the base with a fork to prevent puffing.
Step 3
Place the lined tart pan in the freezer for 10 minutes to firm up the pastry.
Step 4
While the pastry chills, cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy. Transfer the cooked bacon to a paper-towel-lined plate and crumble it into small pieces once cooled.
Step 5
Parbake the puff pastry in the preheated oven for 10 minutes, then remove and set aside to cool slightly.
Step 6
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, whole milk, salt, pepper, and nutmeg until smooth and well-combined.
Step 7
Scatter the crumbled bacon and grated Gruyère cheese evenly over the base of the pastry.
Step 8
Pour the egg mixture into the tart shell, ensuring it is evenly distributed.
Step 9
Bake the quiche in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the filling is set and the top is golden.
Step 10
Let the quiche cool for 10 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy your Puff Pastry Quiche Lorraine!
