Recipe: The national dish of France – Quiche Lorraine

July 14, 2015 by Kalle Leave a Comment

National dish of France - Quiche Lorraine July 14 is the national day of France (Bastille Day) and if there’s one dish that should be named the national dish of France it should be Quiche Lorraine. This savoury pie with cheese, bacon, eggs and cream is made all over France (and also around the world) but many might think it is too simple to be called a national dish of France when there are so many more advanced French recipes like Boeuf Bourguignon, Ratatouille, Cassoulet, Bouillabaisse, Coq au vin, etc. This recipe for Quiche Lorraine was created by Delphine over at Del’s cooking twist. She is now the Country chef for France and I encourage you to visit her fantastic blog! For those of you that have been reading about IngredientMatcher know that there is an ebook with “National Dishes From Around The World” and this recipe has been included in the recently released second edition.

Ingredients
  

Pie crust

  • 300 ml flour 180 g
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 125 g butter
  • 1 large egg

Filling:

  • 200 g bacon cubed or chopped
  • 150 g Emmental cheese grated Swiss cheese
  • ½ onion
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • 4 large eggs
  • 300 ml cream
  • 100 ml milk
  • salt
  • black pepper
  • fresh parsley

Instructions
 

Pie crust

  • Sift the flour together with a pinch of salt in a large bowl. Rub in the butter until you have a soft breadcrumb texture.
  • Add the egg to make the ingredients stick together and form a firm dough, then rest in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
  • Roll a large disk on a light floured surface and line a 27 cm/ 8.6 inch spring form. Prick with a fork and prebake the pie crust at 180°C (350°F) for 10-15 minutes.
  • Peel and finely chop the onion, then fry it with one tablespoon of butter on low heat until the onion has softened, about 5-8 minutes.

Filling

  • Fry the diced bacon in a frying pan for about 3 minutes.
  • Whisk together the eggs, milk and cream. Add the grated Emmental cheese. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Place the caramelized onions onto the pie crust and add the diced bacon. Pour the filling over and bake for 25 minutes at 180°C (350°F) in the lower part of the oven. The pie is done when the pie is golden and the filling has solidified.
  • Garnish with fresh parsley and serve the pie warm.
