Vincent Price's Quiche Lorraine

I absolutely love to try celebrity recipes. I think I might do a few more and add a little biography to each one I share here. What do you think? Quiche has got to be one of the easiest comfort foods to make. If you are a little leery about making the crust then just get a store bought freezer one and thaw it out. Usually Quiche Lorraine is made with ham. But Vincent always did things differently lol.

1 cup flour
1 egg yolk
1/2 cup butter
1 tablespoon water
1/2 pound bacon -- cooked
1/2 pound Swiss cheese -- diced
8 egg yolk
2 cups cream
1/4 teaspoon dry mustard

Combine flour, egg yolk, butter, pinch salt and water in food processor to form
stiff dough. Chill 30 minutes. Roll out and line quiche dish. Cover pastry
with wax paper and fill with rice. Bake 8 minutes at 425F. Discard paper and
rice; bake 3 minutes more. Reduce oven to 350F. In crust, layer bacon and
cheese. Combine egg yolks, cream, 1/4 tsp. salt, mustard, and 1/4 tsp. pepper
in blender. Pour custard into pastry shell. Bake at 350F for 45 minutes, or
until knife comes clean.
