Entree Quiche Lorraine One pre-made pie crust
Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Fit the pie crust into a 9-inch pie plate. Press edges to the pan, then with a fork, prick the pie shell in several places in bottom of pan. Bake empty pie shell in oven for 5 minutes. Cool slightly. After removing pie shell from oven, increase temperature to 450 degrees. Cook bacon in small skillet until crisp; drain bacon on paper towel. Crumble bacon and set aside. Drain off all but 1 tablespoon drippings from your skillet. Saute the onion in the drippings until soft. Sprinkle the cheese into the pastry shell, add the bacon and onion. In a medium-sized bowl, beat eggs slightly. Beat in milk, salt, nutmeg and pepper. Pour all into the prepared shell. Bake in oven at 450 degrees for 15 minutes. Then lower oven temperature to 350 degrees and bake for 15 more minutes or until center is almost set but soft. (Do not overbake--custard will set as it cools.) Let stand 15 minutes before serving.
California Quiche One pre-made pie crust Fit pie crust into a 9-inch pie pan. Press edges down around
sides of pan. Chill pie crust. Drain artichokes, but reserve 2 tablespoons of the marinade. Cut artichoke hearts in half.
