This easy meal, which my daughter’s call “Egg Pie”, is a family favorite for lunch, brunch, and dinner. We like to serve this Quiche Lorraine for Sunday brunch with our family.

I use a frozen pie shell for this recipe. I like to remove it from the aluminum holder and place in my own glass pie dish. You can also make your own dough. Check out this recipe here.
Sprinkle cooked bacon in the bottom of the pie shell.
Add 1/2 cup shredded cheese.
For the egg filling you will need beaten eggs, milk {or sub. cream}, and seasonings.
Whisk eggs and cream in a bowl.
Add nutmeg, salt, pepper. Stir until combined.
I use 1/8 tsp nutmeg and about 1/4 tsp salt and white pepper.
Pour egg mixture into the pie crust.
Sprinkle in the shallot.
Top with remaining 1/2 cup of cheese.
Bake at 350 degrees for 30-40 minutes or until set.
