Quiche Lorraine is a classic French dish that has been enjoyed for centuries. Invented in the Lorraine region of France, this savory dish became popular in the United States during the 1970s. The basic recipe consists of eggs, cream, bacon, and cheese, but this version features Swiss cheese and a pastry crust. The pastry crust is flaky and buttery, while the filling is rich and savory. This quiche is perfect for a special occasion or a lazy weekend brunch.

Instructions

1.	Preheat oven to 425°F.
2.	Roll out the pie crust and press it into a 9-inch pie dish.
3.	In a skillet, cook the bacon slices until crispy. Remove from the skillet and let cool, then chop into small pieces.
4.	Using the same skillet, sauté the onion over medium heat until soft and tender.
5.	In a mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, and salt. Whisk in flour until smooth.
6.	In the pie crust, layer bacon and onion, then shredded Swiss cheese.
7.	Pour the egg mixture over the pie crust.
8.	Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes.
9.	Reduce heat to 325°F and bake for an additional 30-35 minutes, or until the quiche is set.
