Delish! I skipped the pie dough recipe and used a frozen pie shell. Deep dish a must! I also did not layer it. Followed directions until filling the crust. Just mixed all the ingredients in a bowl and poured into a frozen pie crust. Baked for 50 mins on 325. Perfect! I would not add any more ingredients for filling the quiche (mushrooms, broccoli, etc) as one tends to do in a quiche. There is no room at the Inn. This filling fills a deep dish pie shell as is.
What is not to like - cheese, bacon & cream along with onion and you have a match made in heaven. Warning! Use a Deep Dish pie pan - or all the filling will not fit. Also, you must let quiche cool to fully set. This a classic recipe with a really good method.
Yummy!!!! :) This was the first time I ever made quiche and I was a little nervous about it but I had company over and wanted to make something different. This is a fabulous recipie. I used parmesan and herb seasoning instead of thyme and colby jack cheese instead of Gruyere because that's what I had on hand and it was scrumptious. Made my crust which I just poked holes with a fork in the crust then simply baked it for 10 min. (blind bake thing too much bother). Fried my bacon and onion, mixed up my eggs, put it all in the fridge and it took 2 minutes to assemble and pop in the oven in the morning! Definitly a keeper!!
Wonderful! The first time I made it is was very good, but the 2nd time I watched the video and what a difference.WOW! The tips he gives in the video you can't get from the recipe only. I don't like watching videos but this was a must for me. I get the difference now,from a dense eggy quiche which can still be tasty but Chef John's true quiche is a custardy flavorful delight, a taste to behold!
I've made Quiche Lorraine for at least 30 years from the recipe in the big Betty Crocker cookbook. I didn't think there was a better one until I tried Chef John's. The biggest difference was the addition of leeks and using Gruyere cheese. I used an applewood smoked Gruyere which gave it even more flavor. I'm not going to look any further. This is my "go to" Quiche Lorraine recipe A couple of people didn't like the mouth feel of this quiche, but that is what really good quiche is supposed to be like. It's the cream.
The good points-the flavor combo is good, the layering & ladling made for a perfect distribution of ingredients, & it looked very pretty(fitting PERFECTLY into the crust, too). The bad points-my crisp cooked bacon ended up chewy. The texture of the quiche is way too soft for me, I actually gagged on my 2nd bite, this after letting it rest 2 hrs out of the oven. The next day it's a little more firm but still too mushy for my taste. IDK, more eggs or less milk(or both)?? Sorry, Chef John. Not a hit here :(
I made this quiche as laid out in the recipe for my husband last night (I'm a pescatarian so I made mine with veggies instead). It was my first time making a quiche. He really liked it. He ate half of the quiche in two helpings last night and ate the other half for brunch today. It always gets me giddy when his mouth is filled with something I've just made and he gets that "Da n this is good " look on his face. Such a reward:) So...this was a success and I'll be making it again. I'm such a visual/"in motion" kind of learner so as someone who is just starting out with cooking watching the video as well as having the written recipe really helps me. Thank you!!!
A wonderful recipe! Watch the video do exactly what he did it makes a difference. I brought this to work and it was a big hit. It was pretty simple too. Everyone wanted the recipe. I will make this again:)
Fantastic recipe! I didn't follow it to the T as I have a bad habit of speed reading and not necessarily catching all the details. I substituted onion for spring onion as had a lot of the latter growing in the garden. Then mixed the bacon together with the onion-leek mix which turned out fine. We didn't fill the mixture to the top of the dish as we were afraid it would overflow but now realised we should've as the centre mix will sink a bit as it cools so next time we will make sure to fill it right to the top. We also made the pie dough and for a first timer who wasn't too fussed with specific weights/measurements it turned out fine. I was actually quite surprised how well it turned out and am sure will be making more pie crusts in future instead of going to the supermarket. Highly recommended - I would make this dish again!
