Lorraine Pie

Step 1

Preheat oven to 375°F. Fit the 1 pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish, crimping edges. Brush with beaten egg white if desired.

Step 2

In a skillet over medium heat, cook the 6 slices bacon until crisp, about 8 minutes. Remove and crumble, leaving 1 tbsp drippings.

Step 3

Add the 1 sliced onion to the skillet and cook until soft and golden, about 5 minutes. Let cool slightly.

Step 4

In a bowl, whisk the 3 eggs, 1 cup heavy cream, 0.5 tsp salt, and 0.25 tsp pepper until smooth.

Step 5

Spread the bacon and onion over the crust, then sprinkle with 1 cup shredded Gruyere. Pour the egg mixture over the top.

Step 6

Bake until the filling is set and the top is golden brown, about 30 minutes. Let rest 5 minutes before slicing.
