Quiche Lorraine
  1. Preheat oven to 425°F. Prepare pastry, roll into a 12" circle, and fit into a 9" pie pan, making a high, fluted edge.

  2. Prick bottoms and sides of pastry with a fork. Cover with wax paper and fill with uncooked rice or dried beans.

  3. Bake 5-7 minutes until set but not brown, then cool slightly on a wire rack.

  4. Remove paper and rice. Sprinkle bacon and cheese evenly over pie shell.

  5. Mix together remaining ingredients and strain through a fine sieve.

  6. Place pie shell on partly pulled-out oven rack, then pour in egg mixture.

  7. Bake, uncovered, 15 minutes at 425°F, reduce heat to 350°F, and bake 10-15 minutes longer or until a knife inserted between center and rim comes out clean.

  8. Cool on a wire rack 8-10 minutes before cutting into wedges.

Serve as an appetizer or luncheon entrée.

Spinach quiche: prepare as directed but omit bacon and reduce cheese to ¼ pound, spread 1 pound finely chopped well drained cooked spinach over cheese before pouring in egg mixture
