Rehoboth Beach Eats! Quiche Lorraine, Simple, Savory, Versatile, Breakfast, Brunch, Lunch, Dinner….You Choose, Delaware Beaches, Southern Delaware
Plenty of restaurants offer the versatile Quiche for breakfast, brunch, lunch and even dinner. It is that kind of dish. My favorite is more of the traditional Quiche Lorraine. It originated in Lorraine, France. But, the word “quiche” come from the German word “kuchen” or cake.
My motto is “make it your own”, when it comes to recipes. The same has happened with Quiche Lorraine; no two are created equal. It is been said that, traditionally, the cream shoud be just that…cream, or even a stiff “creme fraiche”. For my recipe, I used a light cream, trying to save calories and fat where I can.
Hope you like it. It is very easy. I do have a deep pie dish, but if you don’t, just cut the recipe in half. I bought a prepared pie crust, and followed the directions on the package…making things so much more simple.
QUICHE LORRAINE
6 large eggs, slightly beaten
2 cups light cream
10 slices of bacon, crisply cooked and crumbled…I bought the low sodium bacon.
6 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1/2 cup finely minced onion
2 cups grated Swiss cheese
1/4 teaspoon salt…I did not add any salt because the bacon and cheese have plenty…up to you.
1/4 teaspoon pepper
Pie dough…if you want to make your own, it would probably be awesome!
Pre-heat oven to 375 degrees.
Combine all ingredients except pie dough…haha. Pour into prepared pie pan and bake it for about 45 minutes to an hour. Closer to the hour, unless you cut the recipe in half.
It will be ready when a knife inserted in filling comes out clean.
Then, all you have to do is serve it and enjoy.
I served the Quiche Lorraine with a Kale Mango Salad. Sounds weird to have served it with this salad, but it was great!! The recipe for the Mango Kale Salad can be found on AboutMyBeaches. Just click on the month of June of 2013 and scroll down to the 17th. It is under Meatless Monday, Mango Kale Salad. I got the recipe from Vege Fest in Rehoboth Beach this summer.
Have a great day!!
