Instructions
  1. Prepare the Pâte Brisée: In a food processor, pulse together the flour and salt. Add the cold butter and pulse until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually add ice water, one tablespoon at a time, pulsing until the dough just comes together. Form the dough into a disk, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
  2. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  3. Roll out the chilled dough on a lightly floured surface and transfer to a 9-inch tart pan with a removable bottom. Press the dough into the pan and trim the edges. Prick the bottom of the crust with a fork.
  4. Blind bake the crust for 20 minutes. To blind bake, line the crust with parchment paper and fill with pie weights or dried beans.
  5. Prepare the Filling: In a skillet, cook the bacon lardons until crispy. Remove from skillet and drain on paper towels.
  6. In the same skillet, melt the butter and sauté the shallots until softened and translucent.
  7. In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, crème fraîche, nutmeg, salt, and pepper. Stir in the black truffle oil.
  8. Sprinkle the cooked bacon, sautéed shallots, and Comté cheese evenly over the pre-baked crust.
  9. Pour the egg mixture over the bacon, shallots, and cheese.
  10. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the quiche is set and golden brown. Let cool slightly before serving.
