Preheat the oven to 190°C (convection). Roll out the pastry in a 24-26 cm tart tin, prick the base with a fork. Cover with baking paper and baking beans (or dried beans). Blind bake for 10 minutes, then remove beans and paper.

Cook the bacon lardons in a dry pan over medium heat for 4-5 minutes until golden. Drain on paper towels.
- 3
In a large bowl, whisk the eggs until frothy. Add the cream and milk, whisking. Season with pepper, nutmeg and taste before adding salt.

On the pre-baked crust, scatter the bacon. Pour the egg mixture over. Sprinkle with grated Gruyère.
- 5
Bake for 35 to 40 minutes until the edges are golden and the center is slightly wobbly.
- 6
Let cool on a rack for 10 minutes before slicing. Sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley before serving.
- Blind baking the crust is essential for a crispy bottom that doesn't get soggy.
- Draining the bacon thoroughly on paper towels prevents excess grease.
- Grating the cheese yourself ensures better melting and a stronger flavor.
- Taking the quiche out of the oven when the center is still slightly wobbly guarantees a creamy texture.
- Serve the quiche warm or at room temperature, accompanied by a crisp green salad with mustard vinaigrette. Ideal for lunch, a picnic, or a buffet.
- Add a sliced onion caramelized with the bacon. Replace bacon with diced bacon. Incorporate a finely sliced leek sautéed in butter. For a gluten-free version, use a gluten-free shortcrust pastry.
