Step-by-step recipe

check things off as you go

  1. Preheat the oven

    Turn the oven on to 200 °C, convection if you have it.

  2. Line the pan

    Unroll the pie crust with its paper into the pan, then prick the bottom with a fork.

  3. Cook the bacon

    Cook the 50 g of smoked diced bacon in the dry skillet over medium heat, no added fat, until golden. Drain it and scatter it over the crust.

    Tip · Smoked bacon releases its own fat, so skip the oil in the skillet and drain it well to keep the crust crispy.

  4. Make the filling

    In the mixing bowl, whisk 3 of the 4 eggs with the 85 g of light crème fraîche, then add a pinch of pepper and a pinch of salt. Keep the 4th egg aside and only add it if the mixture looks too runny: otherwise, beat it and use a little to brush the edges of the crust.

  5. Pour in the filling

    Pour the filling over the bacon, spreading it all the way to the edges.

  6. Bake the quiche

    Bake at 200 °C for 25 minutes, until the quiche is set and golden. A knife stuck in the center should come out clean.

    Tip · The filling should still jiggle very slightly in the center when it comes out, it finishes setting as it cools. If the edges brown too fast, cover them with foil or parchment paper.

  7. Dress the salad

    Toss the 25 g of salad greens with 1 tbsp of olive oil, a pinch of salt and a pinch of pepper right before serving.

  8. Serve

    Let the quiche rest 3 minutes, cut it into two portions and serve with the salad.
