Preparation Time: 15 Minutes

Cooking Time: 40 minutes

 

 

Recipe:

  • Put the pastry in a greased oven-proof dish, covering the bottom and sides of the dish.

  • Sprinkle the chopped bacon and then the grated cheese onto the pastry bottom. If you don’t have Gruyere cheese, you can use cheddar or other cheese.

  • Mix together the eggs, crème, fromage blanc, onion, pepper and salt. Pour into the oven dish.

  • Put into preheated oven and bake for 40 minutes at 180ºC (350ºF) or until filling is firm and golden.

  • Quiche Alsatian can be served hot or cold.

 

Notes:

If you don’t have Gruyere cheese, you can use cheddar or other cheese.

Sourced cream is not exactly the same as Crème Fraiche, but it is close.

Fromage Blanc is actually a mild creamy white cheese. However, it is similar in taste to yoghurt, which can be used instead.

A mixed salad goes well with Quiche Alsatian, together the two make a meal.

Quiche Alsatian is simply Quiche Lorraine, with added onions. If you don't care for onions, or if they don't agree with you, try our Quiche Lorraine recipe.
