Bacon and mozzarella quiche is a French savory tart with a buttery crust and a delicate cream filling. Press the dough made with flour, cornstarch, butter, milk, and egg yolk into a pan, prick it, and blind-bake it at 175 °C (350 °F) for about 14 minutes, weighted with rice to keep it from puffing up. Then fill it with smoked bacon, mozzarella, and a mixture of milk and cream seasoned with nutmeg. You can vary the filling with ham, vegetables, herbs, or other cheeses.

Instructions
Tip: tap a step to mark it as done.
Mix the flour, cornstarch, salt, powdered sugar, and butter, then add the milk and egg yolk.
Line a greased tart pan with the dough and prick it with a fork.
Cover the dough with parchment paper and weigh it down with rice. Blind-bake at 175 °C (350 °F) for about 14 minutes.
In a bowl, mix the milk, cooking cream, black pepper, salt, and nutmeg. Add the diced bacon and shredded mozzarella and mix well.
Pour the filling into the partially baked crust and bake at 175 °C (350 °F) for another 20 minutes.
Tip: Chill the dough for half an hour before lining the pan to help it shrink less during blind baking. Once the rice used for blind baking has cooled, store it in a jar to use as a weight next time.
