🍳 Preparation Steps
  1. 1

    Unroll the shortcrust pastry and line a lightly greased tart tin. Press the edges well and prick the base with a fork. Place in the refrigerator.

  2. 2

    Cook the bacon lardons over medium heat without fat for 5-7 minutes until golden. Drain on paper towels.

  3. 3

    In a bowl, break the eggs and whisk them. Gradually add the fresh cream, mixing for a smooth texture.

  4. 4

    Incorporate the salt, pepper, thyme, and chopped parsley. Mix thoroughly.

  5. 5

    Add the cooled bacon lardons and grated cheese to the mixture. Stir gently.

  6. 6

    Remove the tin from the refrigerator and pour the mixture over the pastry. Smooth the surface with a spatula.

  7. 7

    Bake at 180°C (static heat) for about 40 minutes, until the quiche is golden and the center is set.

  8. 8

    Let rest for 5 to 10 minutes before slicing to allow the filling to firm up.

Tips & Tricks
  • Serve this quiche warm or at room temperature, accompanied by a crisp green salad with a lemon vinaigrette.
  • Variations: Replace the cheese with Comté, cheddar, or blue cheese. Add herbs like chives or rosemary. Incorporate vegetables (bell peppers, spinach, mushrooms) or proteins (ham, smoked salmon).
  • To prevent the pastry from puffing up, you can use baking beans during a 10-minute blind bake.
