Follow The Directions
01
Step
Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (220 degrees C). (5 minutes)
02
Step
Gently press the thawed puff pastry into the bottom and up the sides of a shallow casserole dish or 8-inch pie plate, creating a neat crust. (5 minutes)
03
Step
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the milk and eggs until well blended. Season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper. (3 minutes)
04
Step
Sprinkle a thin, even layer of shredded Gruyère cheese onto the bottom of the prepared crust. Distribute the crumbled bacon evenly over the cheese. (5 minutes)
05
Step
Carefully pour the egg mixture into the crust, ensuring it fills the pastry shell evenly. Sprinkle the remaining Gruyère cheese over the top. Arrange the tomato slices artfully on top of the cheese. (5 minutes)
06
Step
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Then, reduce the oven temperature to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and continue baking until the crust is golden brown and the custard is set, about 30 minutes more. (50 minutes)
07
Step
Let the quiche cool slightly before slicing and serving. This allows the custard to set further, making it easier to cut clean slices.
For an extra layer of flavor, consider sautéing a finely diced shallot or onion with the bacon before crumbling it into the quiche.
If you prefer a richer, more decadent quiche, substitute heavy cream for half of the milk.
Feel free to experiment with different cheeses, such as Emmental or Comté, to create your own unique flavor profile.
Garnish with fresh herbs like chives or parsley for a pop of color and added freshness.
