Step-by-step recipe

check things off as you go

  1. Start preheating the oven

    Turn the oven on to 180 °C: it heats up while you do the next steps.

  2. Line the pan with the crust

    Lightly butter the tart pan, then unroll the pie crust with its paper without rolling it out. Peel off the paper if needed and trim any edges hanging over.

  3. Prick the crust

    Prick the bottom of the crust all over with a fork so it doesn't puff up while baking.

  4. Slice the onion

    Peel the onion and slice it thin.

  5. Cook the onion and bacon

    Cook the onion in the skillet with just a little fat, 3 min over medium heat. Add the 160 g of diced bacon and keep going 4 min until golden, then drain on a plate.

  6. Make the quiche filling

    In the mixing bowl, whisk the 4 eggs, setting aside a bit of one yolk in a cup or on the plate for brushing. Add the 100 g of cream, salt, pepper and nutmeg, then whisk until smooth.

    Tip · Save a little yolk before beating the eggs to brush the edges. Water alone won't give them color.

  7. Fill and brush the edges

    Spread the onion and bacon over the crust, then pour in the filling. Brush the edges of the crust with the yolk you set aside.

  8. Bake the quiche

    Bake at 180 °C for 25 min, until the filling is set and the top is golden. Let it rest 5 min before slicing.

    Tip · The quiche is done when the center no longer jiggles when you gently shake the pan. Serve it with a green salad.
