To make this Lorraine quiche at home, you will need:

• 6 thick slices of smoked bacon, skin removed
• nutmeg
• freshly ground pepper
• sel

For the set cream machine, you will need:

• 250 g of cream
• 250 g of milk
• 2 eggs
• 2 egg yolks

1. Start by cutting the bacon slices into large pieces of bacon. Be sure to leave the edges to best preserve the smoked taste.
2. Then, blanch the bacon. To do this, immerse them in a saucepan of cold water and gradually bring to the boil. Do not add salt.
3. Once boiling, drain them and brown them in the pan, taking care to mix them well once they start to turn golden.
4. Then move on to preparing the set cream. To do this, break the two eggs into a mixing bowl and add the two yolks before mixing.
5. Add the milk, cream, salt, pepper and 2 small gratings of nutmeg. Mix with a whisk and don’t forget to filter the mixture to be sure not to leave any shells.
6. Once your appliance is ready and the bacon is crispy, filter it to remove excess fat.
7. Then distribute them over the shortcrust pastry, previously baked in the oven, blind, for 20 minutes at 180-200°C.
8. Heat the device very lightly in the microwave or on the corner of the stove for faster cooking of the quiche.
9. Pour the mixture over the bacon and cook everything at 160°C for 20 to 25 minutes. The quiche is cooked when the appliance holds together.

All you have to do is taste. Enjoy your food !
