Quiche Lorraine

First off, I'm going to tell you right now that I don't eat this...Have no desire to....I prepared this when I was in a High School Home economics class... (I took it to meet girls...One girl in particular!) It did not turn out well...The young lady I was trying to get in good with...Well...That didn't turn out well either...

But ..........(There is always a  but...)I understand that this is a French delicacy...and there might be some of you out there that will eat this and find it quite good...Might as well give you a proper recipe..


INGREDIENTS:

• All-purpose flour, for dusting
• Tart Dough
• 10 ounce(s) slab bacon, cut into 3/4-by-1/4-by-1/4-inch strips
• 3 large eggs
• 2 cup(s) heavy cream
• 3/4 teaspoon(s) coarse salt
• 1/4 teaspoon(s) freshly ground pepper

DIRECTIONS:

1. On a lightly floured work surface, roll out dough to 1/4 inch thick. Cut out a 13-inch circle from dough. Press dough onto bottom and up sides of an 11-inch tart pan with a removable bottom; trim dough flush with top edge of pan. Prick bottom all over with a fork. Transfer to a rimmed baking sheet. Freeze until firm, about 30 minutes. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
2. Line tart shell with parchment paper, and fill with pie weights or dried beans. Bake until dough starts to feel firm on the edges, about 20 minutes. Remove parchment and weights; continue baking until crust is pale golden brown, about 10 minutes. Let cool completely on a wire rack. Leave oven on.
3. Cook bacon in a large skillet over medium heat until browned, about 10 minutes. Transfer with a slotted spoon to paper towels to drain.
4. Whisk eggs, cream, salt, and pepper in a medium bowl. Pour mixture into tart shell, and scatter the bacon strips on top. Bake until puffed and pale golden brown, about 30 minutes. Let cool at least 30 minutes before serving.

Well,There you have it... For those that may just like these...and I am sure there are some...

Have at it...Enjoy! Eat well my friends!
