Best Creamy Quiche Lorraine Recipe

This quiche Lorraine recipe is perfect for a spring brunch! Bakes up silky-smooth and creamy, with a flaky crust and plenty of smoky bacon, onion, & cheese.

I think I can officially say that spring has arrived. We’ve had lots of warm sunny days, the trees are budding, and our daffodils are up and looking so cheery!

This time of year is so inspiring when it comes to baking! I love all the pretty pastel treats (like these pale pink meringue cookies), the coconut desserts (like this glazed coconut bread), and the yummy pineapple goodies (like this pineapple stuffing).

How To Make Classic Quiche Lorraine

Quiche is perfect for Easter because of the symbolism of eggs at this time of year. They signify rebirth, and plus they’re rich, creamy, and so delish.

You can make it with all sorts of different add-ins, but for the quiche you see here, I kept it traditional with scallions, smoky bacon, and nutty Gruyere cheese. This is a classic recipe known as “quiche Lorraine.”

Quiche is a savory dish that consists of a creamy, flan-like custard baked in a pie crust. It’s great for breakfast, brunch, lunch, or as a light dinner.

This recipe is made with a combination of smoky bacon, scallions, and cheese, but you can put all sorts of yummy things into your quiche. Here are a few ideas:

Make sure your veggies and meat are fully cooked before the quiche goes into the oven, and drain off any excess liquid. Otherwise you could end up with a watery mess (don’t ask me how I know this).

To make this traditional quiche Lorraine, start with the pastry. I like to use this homemade pie crust recipe, because it’s buttery and

The crust will need to partially bake (this is to prevent it from getting soggy), so line it with parchment and place ceramic pie weights in the center, to help it keep its shape. (If you don’t have pie weights you can use dry beans or rice.)

Quiche Lorraine is typically made with bacon, onions, and cheese. Since they’re so seasonal, colorful, and mild-tasting, I’m using scallions in place of the onion. The bacon should be chopped, cooked, and drained, and the cheese should be grated.

The quiche will bake for about 35 minutes. You’ll know it’s done when it’s set around the edges but still just a little wobbly towards the center.

There’s lots of protein in the eggs, milk, and cheese, and veggie add-ins will provide lots of nutrients and a decent amount of fiber.

The best kind of pastry to bake quiche in would definitely be pie crust. You can use pre-made, store-bought pie pastry, or you can make it yourself.

Quiche can be served warm, cold, or anywhere in between. Personally, I like it at room temperature. It’s pretty much a complete meal in one dish, because of the protein in the eggs plus all the add-ins. But it’s nice to serve it alongside a lightly dressed green salad or a little fresh fruit.

Quiche is a great make-ahead dish. It will keep at room temperature for several hours, or in the fridge for a few days. And it can be frozen too!

Just wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and pop it in the freezer. It will keep for up to two months. Thaw it at room temperature and reheat it gently in the microwave or in a warm oven (170 degrees F).

You could even make several at a time and keep a stash in your freezer! Try baking it in foil pie pans so you don’t have your nice pie dish tied up in the freezer for months at a time.

If you’re planning a brunch any time soon, I hope you’ll give this quiche Lorraine recipe a try! The flavors go so nicely together, and the silky custard is just sublime with the flaky, buttery crust.
