Then let\u2019s fire (the oven) away!<\/p>\n<h4>Chapter 1! The bed of the deceased!<\/h4>\n<p>Before starting the massacre of the innocent vegetables, prepare their laying out (note: no need for beer, it\u2019s just a pun)!<strong> Unwrap and spread your puff pastry on your dish<\/strong>, and prick it with a few fork holes.<strong> Put it in the oven on low heat<\/strong> and let it puff up on its own. Meanwhile, turn your attention to the second theater of operations, operation \u00ab\u00a0vegetable massacre\u00a0\u00bb!<\/p>\n<h4>Chapter 2! The massacre of the innocent vegetables!<\/h4>\n<p>Turn on a hotplate, and put the <strong>bacon bits and mushrooms in a sufficiently large frying pan<\/strong> so they can release their moisture. You can pour in the water from the mushroom can, or a little tap water, and turn the heat up high (max, or close to it, anyway).<br \/>\nMeanwhile, the leek and its friends the three little onions were innocently laughing at the fate reserved for their friend, the lovely puff pastry. Spare them no mercy! Remove their outer layers and <strong>slice them all into rings<\/strong>! Don\u2019t cry for the onions, they didn\u2019t deserve it. Once this carnage is done, throw their chopped remains in with their friends the bacon bits and mushrooms. <strong>You can lower the heat<\/strong>. Your only goal is to make them lose their stringy texture and give them that lovely melt-in-the-mouth consistency.<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-183\" title=\"loignon\" src=\"http:\/\/simonertel.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/loignon.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"450\" height=\"669\" srcset=\"https:\/\/simonertel.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/loignon.png 450w, https:\/\/simonertel.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/loignon-201x300.png 201w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/><\/p>\n<h4>Chapter 3! We can breathe a sigh of relief!<\/h4>\n<p>The puff pastry has given enough! It needs some fresh air! <strong>Take it out of the oven<\/strong>. It should be nicely puffed up; let it cool down, it will deflate again.<\/p>\n<h4>Chapter 4! You can\u2019t make quiche without breaking eggs!<\/h4>\n<p>While the pastry is returning to its pre-pregnancy shape, take the mixing bowl out of strategic reserve, and <strong>crack three eggs<\/strong>, beat them (they deserved it), then add <strong>the milk and the cr\u00e8me fra\u00eeche<\/strong>. <strong>Add pepper, salt and nutmeg<\/strong>. I sometimes add Proven\u00e7al herbs. Mix well so that it becomes a liquid mixture.<\/p>\n<h4>Chapter 5! Small pots inside big ones!<\/h4>\n<p>Normally, your vegetables and bacon bits are ready. It\u2019s time to <strong>pour them into your mixing bowl<\/strong>, and mix everything again, without making a mess everywhere either! Once this is done, <strong>put everything into the dish<\/strong> for the oven, or else the puff pastry should normally have shrunk quite a bit! If the mixture spills over the edges of the pastry, don\u2019t worry, it happens to me regularly, but it doesn\u2019t take away from the taste of the final result! Sprinkle with the previously grated Gruy\u00e8re (or bought already grated) and put it in the oven!<\/p>\n<h4>Chapter 6! A well-deserved rest!<\/h4>\n<p>Congratulations, you have completed your mission! All that\u2019s left is to put everything in the oven and wait about <strong>30 to 40 minutes<\/strong> at medium thermostat. Simply look and check that the top is lightly browned, and that will be enough.<\/p>\n<p>And bon app\u00e9tit, of course!<\/p>\n<p>(I\u2019m looking forward to your feedback!)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Being a big fan of a good quiche Lorraine myself, I naturally turned to this recipe for my culinary experiments!
