Curry‑Flavored Quiche Lorraine

Ingredients

• 100 g All-purpose flour
• 50 g Cold unsalted butter
• 2 Tbsp Ice water
• 4 slices Bacon strips
• 60 g Gruyère cheese
• 3 Eggs
• 120 ml Heavy cream
• 60 ml Milk
• 1 tsp Curry powder
• ½ tsp Salt
• ¼ tsp Black pepper

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 190°C (375°F). In a bowl combine flour and a pinch of salt, cut in the cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs, then add ice water and mix until a dough forms; press into a 9‑inch tart pan, prick the base, and bake blind with parchment and beans for 10 minutes.

2. 2

   While the crust bakes, cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crisp, then crumble; grate the Gruyère cheese and set aside.

3. 3

   In a mixing bowl whisk together eggs, heavy cream, milk, curry powder, salt, and black pepper until smooth; stir in the crumbled bacon and cheese.

4. 4

   Remove the crust from the oven, pour the custard mixture into it, and return to the oven; bake for 25‑30 minutes until the filling is set and lightly golden on top.

5. 5

   Let the quiche rest 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
