1. Preheat the oven to 180°C.
2. Unroll the dough in the pie pan and prick the bottom with a fork.

8. Stir in the bacon.

I love the generous thickness from the cream, yet it stays light and relatively low-calorie.
As my grandmother used to say, good ingredients make a great dish.
This foolproof recipe works as a starter or main with salad. For aperitifs, slice into small squares—far better than store-bought snacks.
Add cheese for a Vosges-style quiche.
With onions, it's Alsatian.
Customize with spinach, zucchini, leeks, tuna, ham, mozzarella, or ricotta.

For gluten-free, skip the dough; it holds together thanks to the eggs and is even lighter.
