Fancy doesn't need to be difficult!

Quiche Lorraine. Sounds fancy and challenging. Nope. It couldn't be easier. And that even includes homemade crust. I made the crust last night and it's just flour, salt, and diced cold butter in a food processor. Once it's all combined, all you need to do is slowly add one tablespoon increments of ice water while it is running until the dough comes together into a ball. Once it does, all you need to do is form it into a disk, wrap and refrigerate up to overnight, and then roll it out when ready to use. I blind-baked mine for 12 minutes before filling. Blind baking is when you cover with foil and weigh it down using pie weights.
The filling is eggs, heavy cream, bacon, caramelized onions, grated gruyere, fresh thyme, salt and pepper. Your house will smell amazing from start to finish!
My favorite restaurant Quiche Lorraine is at Petit Louis in Roland Park and they serve theirs with a simple salad dressed with a vinaigrette. I did the same but I made edible salad bowls out of Parmesan cheese. I scooped a 1/3 cup portion onto a baking mat, and baked 6 minutes until melted but pliable.
Then I used an upside-down glass to mold the cups. They firm up quickly as they cool. Easy but fancy! And carb-free!
Now this was a nice way to start a Sunday!
Have a great week!
Pvt. Andre link L. Bibeau (1925 - 2016) was a World link War II veteran who served in the Army Infantry and was awarded the Purple Heart and Bronze Star. In 1943 he was assigned to the 141st Infantry Regiment out of Fort Meade, MD and was deployed to the link Italian front as a private. He was wounded twice in Italy and subsequently awarded the Purple Heart.
The Rover Haven logo is a stylized watch face and reflects my fondness for British military watches. It incorporates the pheon link (aka broad arrow) and the 12:00 triangle link found on so many of the classic mid-century military watch dials. Both the Rover Haven name and link logo are trademarked.
The bracelet is running the show, and if that is something that sits well with you I think this collection might be calling your name. I'm on the record as liking a bracelet-first Cartier watch moment, so I do think this is a stunning piece, and a moment of real link maturity and almost mainstream design for the Libre collection. The impact link is still big; it's the link watch that got small.

On the pre-owned side of link the Shop, this Rolex Sea-Dweller 1665 was recently link added to our digital storefront. If you have link Valentine's Day on your mind, this Omega Constellation Manhattan is a total charmer (and is a longtime favorite of Cindy Crawford, no less).
