CHEESY QUICHE LORRAINE

Steps:

• Cook chopped bacon in a heavy skillet with a little butter or olive oil until browned.
• Remove the bacon from the skillet to a glass or paper plate lined with a couple paper towels.
• Butter a 9" glass pie dish.
• Spread bacon and then the grated Gruyere in the pie plate.
• Whisk together the eggs, creme fraiche, salt, and pepper.
• Pour over the bacon and cheese, using a fork to gently distribute the bacon and cheese evenly.
• Bake the quiche in a water bath in a 350F oven for 40 to 45 minutes or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean.
• Serve hot or at room temperature.
• Note: A water bath is simply placing the dish to be cooked in a larger dish, then filling the larger dish with water to about 1" from the top of the smaller dish, then bake.
• I get the water ready to pour, place the uncooked quiche in the larger dish and then into the oven, and THEN pour the water in.
• Be very careful pulling this out of the oven.
• Move slowly so the hot water doesn't slosh about.
• Don't pull your oven rack out with the dish on it unless your rack moves very smoothly or the water will slosh.

CHEESY QUICHE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Heavily spray a 12-cup nonstick muffin pan with nonstick cooking spray.
• Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the bacon and cook until crispy, about 6 minutes. Remove the bacon to a plate with a slotted spoon and pour 2 to 3 tablespoons of the bacon fat (see Cook's Note) into a large, heatproof bowl. To the bacon fat, add the crushed corn flakes and Cheddar. Stir the mixture together until it starts to clump. Press the mixture into the cups of the prepared muffin pan. Bake until lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Remove and cool slightly on a baking rack in the pan.
• Return the skillet to medium-high heat and add the butter. Once the butter is melted, add the onions and cook until softened and starting to brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Sprinkle on the mustard, salt, paprika and pepper. Stir the collard greens into the onion mixture. Continue cooking the greens, stirring occasionally, until wilted, 5 to 6 minutes. Set aside to cool slightly.
• Whisk together the half-and-half and eggs, then stir in the greens. Pour some of the egg mixture into each crust in the pan to come about three-quarters of the way up and sprinkle on the bacon. Bake until the egg has set and doesn't jiggle, 15 to 20 minutes. Set the mini quiches on a baking rack for 10 minutes to cool. Serve warm or at room temperature.
