THE BEST QUICHE LORRAINE



The Best Quiche Lorraine image

Perfect for breakfast, lunch or dinner, this traditional French quiche is filled with crispy bacon, soft, sweet onions and nutty Gruyere, all nestled in a tender pastry crust. In the shop windows of Paris you will often see quiche several inches high and brimming with filling. While it is absolutely magnifique, it is also incredibly time-consuming and technically challenging for the home cook. In our version, we use a shorter tart pan so there's less fussing with large volumes of dough, and a reduced amount of custard cuts the baking time in half. And although you do need to refrigerate the dough twice, it's worth it. The pastry is extra buttery and keeping it chilled makes it easier to work with and results in a light flaky crust.

Time 4h15m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 cup all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting (see Cook's Note)
Kosher salt
1 stick (8 tablespoons) cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
3 to 5 tablespoons ice water
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 small yellow onion, very thinly sliced
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 ounces slab bacon, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
2 teaspoons fresh thyme leaves
1/2 cup shredded Gruyere (about 2 ounces)
1 cup heavy cream
2 large eggs

Steps:

  • For the pastry crust: Pulse the flour and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a food processor until combined. Add the butter and pulse until the flour looks like cornmeal. Sprinkle in 3 tablespoons ice water and pulse until the dough begins to come together. Pinch the dough with your fingers; if it doesn't hold together, add up to 2 more tablespoons ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, and pulse again.
  • Transfer the dough to a sheet of plastic wrap and pat into a disc. Wrap tightly and refrigerate until firm, at least 1 hour and preferably overnight.
  • Lightly flour a work surface, then roll the dough into an 11-inch round, about 1/8 inch thick. Center the dough in a 9-inch fluted tart pan with removable bottom, with an even overhang of dough all around. Press the dough into the edges of the pan and the fluted sides. Roll the rolling pin over the top to cut off the extra dough (discard the extra). Poke the bottom and sides all over with a fork. Chill until completely cold, about 30 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, position an oven rack in the lower third of the oven and preheat to 375 degrees F.
  • Press a piece of parchment over the chilled crust, then fill with pie weights, raw beans or rice. Put the pan on a baking sheet. Bake until the crust is set and golden around the edges, about 40 minutes. Carefully remove the parchment and weights. Return to the oven and bake until the crust is dry and slightly golden, about 15 minutes more. Let cool completely, about 30 minutes.
  • For the filling: Combine the butter, onion, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/2 cup water in a medium skillet over medium-low heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are completely softened and all the water has evaporated, about 30 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, cook the bacon in a separate medium skillet over medium-low heat, stirring, until the fat has rendered and the bacon is crisp, 10 to 15 minutes.
  • When the onions have cooked for 30 minutes, add the bacon using a slotted spoon, then stir in 1 teaspoon of the thyme and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Spread the onion mixture in the bottom of the crust and sprinkle with the Gruyere. Whisk together the cream, eggs and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a medium bowl until combined. Pour the cream mixture over the filling in the crust and top with the remaining 1 teaspoon thyme.
  • Bake the quiche on the baking sheet until set and golden, about 30 minutes. Let cool at least 30 minutes before serving.

Time 1h10m

Number Of Ingredients 8

Unbleached all-purpose flour, for dusting
1 sheet (14 ounces) frozen all-butter puff pastry, such as Dufour, thawed
10 large eggs, plus 1 egg white
1/4 cup white sesame seeds
10 ounces frozen chopped spinach, thawed, drained, and squeezed dry
3 ounces cheddar, coarsely grated (1 cup)
1 1/4 cups heavy cream
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees. On a floured surface, roll out dough to a 12-by-16-inch rectangle; prick all over with a fork. Whisk egg white with 1/2 teaspoon water; brush over dough. Sprinkle evenly with sesame seeds. Roll dough onto rolling pin; unroll onto a 9-by-13-inch rimmed baking sheet or shallow baking dish. Line with parchment; fill with pie weights or dry beans. Bake 20 minutes. Remove weights and parchment (if it sticks, bake a few more minutes); continue baking until golden and set on bottom, 8 to 10 minutes more (if browning too quickly, tent edges with foil). Immediately prick bottom where puffed excessively to flatten. Let cool 10 minutes.
  • Scatter spinach and cheese evenly over pastry. In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, cream, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Pour evenly over spinach and cheese. Bake until quiche is set and puffed slightly, 18 to 22 minutes (if browning too quickly, tent with foil). Let cool on a wire rack; serve warm or at room temperature.
