Quiche Lorraine
Ingredients
- 6 ounce shortcrust pastry
- 6 ounce Gruyere cheese
- 6 ounce lean bacon
- 2 eggs
- 1/4 pint double cream
- salt
- cayenne
- grated nutmeg
Instructions
Line a 7" flan case with the pastry. Put in it a layer of grated or finely sliced cheese, then the bacon, cut into small pieces and repeat the layer. Now beat the egg with the salt cayenne and nutmeg, stir in the cream and pour over the cheese and bacon. Bake in a moderate oven (gas mark 6) for 40 minutes, until golden brown. Although it can be served cold, Quiche Lorraine is more delicious served hot.
