Quiche Lorraine

I was craving this SO hardcore the other day, and I was given this recipe by a friend. It was so delicious, and I also made some random changes when I made it again, noted at the end.

Quiche Lorraine

9 inch pie crust
(I used a premade organic ww pie crust i had in the freezer)
6 slices of bacon
1 onion, chopped
3 eggs, beaten
1 1/2 cups milk
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups shredded Swiss cheese
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour

Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).

Line pastry with a double layer of aluminum foil. Bake in preheated oven for 8 minutes. Remove foil and bake for 4 to 5 minutes more, or until crust is set. Reduce oven temperature to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). (Or if using premade crust, cook according to package instructions.)

Place bacon in a large, deep skillet. Cook over medium high heat until evenly brown. Remove bacon from pan, crumble and set aside. Reserve 2 tablespoons bacon grease in skillet. Cook onion in reserved drippings until tender; drain and set aside.

In a large bowl, mix together eggs, milk and salt. Stir in bacon and onion. In a separate bowl, toss cheese and flour together. Add cheese to egg mixture; stir well. Pour mixture into hot pastry shell.


Bake in preheated oven for 35 to 40 minutes, or until knife inserted into center comes out clean. If necessary, cover edges of crust with foil to prevent burning. Let quiche cool for 10 minutes before serving.

I also love to make these crustless in my silicone cupcake things. Mairi adores them like that, so easy to freeze and pop in the microwave for a quick breakfast or snack on a busy day. I also used a dubliner irish cheese in this and omg it was amazing. Peppers and onions are another fave vegetable here.

Product Review

Keith and I made a pact awhile ago to try new things. Every week we attempt to try one new thing we have previously never had, or been scared to try or whatever. And it's been awesome, we've been enjoying so many things that we've been missing out on, and Mairi of course loves anything LOL so she benefits from it as well. A few weeks ago while grocery shopping, I spotted this jar of Tikka Masala. I was like, hmm, that looks good and healthy and nice to have for the times I don't want to cook or whatever. I grabbed it, bought and promptly threw it in the back of my cupboard. Keith busted it out tonight, and made a FABULOUS chicken and quinoa dish (we are obsessed with quinoa, did you know it's like BREASTMILK? and you all know how i feel about that :P It's a complete protein with an essential amino acid balance close to breastmilk!) and wow. Now I want to make it, and so shortly I'll be trying out a recipe for it, but in the meantime, if you come across this...

Deluxe Mac and Cheese

This is one of the most amazing things I've ever made. It's SO SO good, albeit LONG to make, but so worth it. And I am pretty sure it's one of those recipes that becomes easier the more you do it, I'll let you know ;) Macaroni and Cheese with Caramelized Onions and Bacon 1 (16 ounce) package elbow macaroni 1/4 cup butter 1/2 cup sour cream 1 egg, beaten 2 tablespoons cream cheese, softened 4 cups grated Asiago cheese (i used parm/romano) 4 cups grated Vermont Cheddar cheese 4 slices bacon 2 tablespoons butter 1 large onion, sliced thin 4 cloves garlic, minced ...

Sweet Oatmeal Bread

So far this has been a favorite, it was a very nice bread overall. We enjoy adding a lot of flax and wheat germ and other randomness (seeds, nuts, etc) to our breads, and I don't have any specific measurements for those, just add as you like. Sweet Oatmeal Bread (1.5lb loaf) 1/2C old-fashioned rolled oats 3/4-7/8C water 2T molasses 1T sugar 1t salt 2C bread flour 1 1/2t active dry yeast Place all ingredients in bread pan, using the least amount of liquid listed in the recipe. Select LIGHT CRUST setting Press Start Observe the dough as it kneads. After 5 to 10 minutes, if it appears dry and stiff or if your machine sounds as if it's straining to knead it, add more liquid 1 tablespoon at a time until the dough forms a smooth, soft, pliable ball that is slightly tacky to the touch. ***I used delayed timer on this, and the min amount of water, and it turned out fine. I also liked the light crust a lot, it was a good change from the med crusts I have been doing***
