This Swiss version of the much admired quiche makes an ideal brunch dish, accompanied by bacon, a citrus compote and steaming coffee. For lunch or supper, serve the quiche with a tossed green salad. The quiche differs from the famed French quiche Lorraine in that cheese rather than bacon is used.
Ingredients:
Pastry (we use Pilsbury pre made pie crusts)
3 tablespoons of cornstarch
2 tablespoons finely chopped onion
3 table spoons of milk
1 ½ cups of shredded Swiss or Gruyère cheese
3 eggs
1 cup of milk
¾ teaspoon of salt
½ cup of whipping cream
1/8 teaspoon of ground nutmeg
Dash of white pepper
Prepare pastry. Sprinkle onion and chese in pastry lined baking dish. Heat oven to 425 degrees. Pour 1 cup of milk and whipping cream into sauce pan. Mix cornstarch and 3 tablespoons of milk; stir into milk-cream mixture.
Heat to boiling over medium heat, stirring constantly; boil and stir 1 minute. Remove from heat and cool slightly. Beat eggs slightly with hand beater; gradually beat in cream sauce add remaining ingredients.
Pour egg mixture into baking dish. Cook uncovered in oven for 15 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 300 degrees. Cook uncovered until a knife inserted halfway between center and edge comes out clean (about 30 minutes). Let stand 10 minutes before cutting.
