    For Quiche Lorraine, omit green onion and meat (chicken, crab, or ham). Cook 6 slices of bacon until crisp. Drain, reserving 2 tablespoons of drippings. Crumble bacon; set aside. Cook 1 medium onion, sliced, in drippings over medium heat until tender; drain. Add bacon, onion, and swiss-cheese-flour mixture to egg mixture.

Number of Servings:

Ingredients:

  1. 1 whole - pie crust pastry
  2. 3 - eggs beaten
  3. 1 1/2 cups - milk
  4. 1/4 cups - green onion sliced
  5. 1/4 teaspoons - salt
  6. 1/8 teaspoons - pepper
  7. 1 dashes - nutmeg
  8. 3/4 cups - chicken, crab meat or ham chopped, cooked
  9. 1 1/2 cups - Swiss, cheddar, or Monterey Jack shredded
  10. 1 tablespoons - flour

Directions:

Prepare pastry for single-crust pie. Line the unpricked pastry shell with a double thickness of heavy-duty foil. Bake in a 450 oven for 5 minutes. Remove foil. Bake for 5-7 minutes more or until pastry is nearly done. Remove from the oven. Reduce oven temperature to 325.

Meanwhile, in a bowl stir together eggs, milk, onion, salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Stir in chicken, crabmeat, or ham. Toss together shredded cheese and flour. Add to egg mixture; mix well.

Pour egg mixture into hot pastry shell. Bake in the 325 oven for 35-40 minutes or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean. If necessary, cover edge of crust with foil to prevent over-browning. Let stand for 10 minutes.
