Quiche Lorraine Au Fromage

Step 1

Heat oven to 425ºF.

Step 2

Mix flour and salt in medium bowl. Cut in butter and shortening with pastry blender or 2 knives until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add ice water, 1 Tbsp. at a time, mixing lightly with fork until dry ingredients are evenly moistened and mixture clings together when pressed into ball. (If necessary, stir in more ice water, 1 tsp. at a time, until dough sticks together.) Flatten dough to 1/2-inch-thick round on large sheet of plastic wrap; wrap securely. Refrigerate 20 to 25 min. or until well chilled.

Step 3

Roll out dough on lightly floured surface to 13-inch round. Place in 9-inch pie plate; fold under and flute edge. Sprinkle bacon and cheese onto bottom of crust. Whisk eggs and half-and-half until blended; pour into crust.

Step 4

Bake 15 min. Reduce oven temperature to 350ºF. Bake 35 to 40 min. or until knife inserted in center comes out clean. Let stand 10 min. before serving.
