Preparation time: 15 minutes Baking time: 30 minutes Total time: 45 minutes Servings: 4 Ingredients: - 400 g puff pastry - 75 g bacon (or lardons for a more intense flavor) - 175 g onion - 15 g butter - 2 eggs - 100 ml milk - 1/2 teaspoon sweet paprika - Pepper to taste - Salt to taste - 50 g grated cheese (optional, but recommended for added flavor) Preparation steps: 1. Preheat the oven to 200°C. Make sure it is well heated to achieve a perfectly crispy crust. 2. Roll out the puff pastry on a tart pan (about 24 cm in diameter), ensuring that the edges are well covered. If using store-bought pastry, it is often already rolled and ready to use. Trim the edges for a rustic and elegant look. 3. In a skillet, melt the 15 g of butter over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onion and sauté for 5-7 minutes until golden and soft. Add the diced bacon and continue cooking for another 3-4 minutes until it becomes slightly crispy. This step will add delicious flavor to your quiche. 4. In a bowl, beat the 2 eggs with the milk, add paprika, salt, and pepper to taste. Mix well. This mixture will create the creamy base for your quiche. 5. Evenly sprinkle the onion and bacon mixture over the puff pastry, then carefully pour the egg and milk mixture on top. If desired, you can add the grated cheese on top for a richer flavor. 6. Bake the quiche in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden and the filling is set. Let it cool for a few minutes before cutting, to allow the fillings to settle. 7. Serve the quiche warm or at room temperature, alongside a fresh salad for a light lunch or elegant dinner. You can drizzle some extra virgin olive oil and add a few fresh basil leaves for a unique look and taste. Useful tips: - If you want to diversify the recipe, you can replace the bacon with vegetables like mushrooms, spinach, or bell peppers for a vegetarian version. - You can experiment with different types of cheese, such as brie or feta, which add a personal touch to your quiche. - Make sure the puff pastry is at room temperature before using it, for easier rolling. This Quiche Lorraine recipe with puff pastry is not only simple but also versatile, giving you the opportunity to put your personal touch in the kitchen. Take advantage of the fresh vegetable season or leftover meat from the fridge to create a delicious dish that will surely be appreciated by all your loved ones.
