Ingredients:

1 pre-made pie crust (or you can make your own)
6-8 slices of bacon, cooked and crumbled
1 cup grated Gruyère cheese (or Swiss cheese)
4 large eggs
1 cup heavy cream
Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Roll out the pie crust and fit it into a 9-inch pie dish. Trim any excess crust hanging over the edges.
In a skillet, cook the bacon until crispy. Remove from the pan, drain on paper towels, and crumble it into small pieces.
Sprinkle the crumbled bacon and grated cheese evenly over the bottom of the pie crust.
In a bowl, whisk together the eggs and heavy cream until well combined. Season with salt, pepper, and nutmeg if desired.
Pour the egg and cream mixture over the bacon and cheese in the pie crust.
Carefully transfer the quiche to the preheated oven and bake for about 30-35 minutes or until the filling is set and the top is golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
Quiche Lorraine is typically enjoyed warm or at room temperature and can be served as a main course or as part of a brunch or lunch spread. It pairs well with a fresh green salad or a side of roasted vegetables.
