Chef Johns Quiche Lorraine

In my opinion, a proper quiche should be rich, custardy, and luxurious–not some kind of dense, baked omelet. This has only enough eggs and yolks to hold things together, but that means you need to let it cool to just warm before serving, to fully enjoy the experience.

Step: 1

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).

Step: 2

Roll pie dough to fit a 9 inch pie plate. Place bottom crust in pie plate and chill for at least 20 minutes before baking. Line the chilled pie crust with foil and fill halfway up with dried beans, rice, or baking weights. Bake in the preheated oven for 7 minutes. Remove foil and weights and bake until golden brown, about 5 minutes.

Step: 3

Reduce oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).

Step: 4

Cook bacon in a skillet over medium heat until browned and cooked through, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from pan to drain. Blot out some of the oil from the skillet, leaving 1 to 2 teaspoons. Add leeks, onion, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. Cook and stir until tender and golden brown, 5 to 7 minutes. Set aside.

Step: 5

Whisk eggs, egg yolks, cream, and milk together in a large bowl. Add thyme and stir to combine.

Step: 6

Sprinkle 2/3 of onion-leek mixture on the bottom of the baked crust. Top with 1/3 cooked bacon and 2/3 Gruyere cheese. Ladle in egg mixture carefully. Sprinkle with remaining onion-leek mixture, remaining bacon, and remaining Gruyere cheese.

Step: 7

Bake filled quiche in the preheated oven until browned and set, and no longer jiggly in the center, 40 to 45 minutes. Allow to cool slightly before serving.

Eat good breakfast to start the day has become a fabulous habit. It’s a great way to start my 24 hours off healthfully. The sweet hit from the pickle tree wakes me up and bring me energy to take on the morning. Sugar is often vilified as the evil of all disease, but sweetness is also loaded with fibre, which is best for your stomach system and helps keep you feel full all day , and less likely grab a snack out of the vending machine before break .

Making fruit a morning habit is simple . Easy as put the sweetness in your fridge next to the sweet drink or on the bench next to your cereal pan , or move your coffee maker or tea kettle — about anywhere where you’ll find it. Before you eat the rest of your breakfast , eat your fruit. If you’re not normally a breakfast person.
