My Favorite Enamelware- Along With Two Recipes For You// Peach Pie & Quiche Lorraine
I am so excited to tell you all about Falcon Enamelware today! I first introduced you to Falcon a few weeks ago when I shared a recipe for a Cherry Clafouti and today I am going to share two more recipes I made recently using my Falcon pieces!
Enamelware is so beautiful, so functional, and so light and compact to store. We have very little storage in our kitchen and an open pantry so Falcon really suits us perfectly. It’s also so easy to clean. It’s timeless and durable! Falcon is a UK company that now ships to the US, which is great because their quality and colors are the best out there. Enamelware is also great for camping trips as it packs light to stay nimble and agile on your travels! So it’s just incredibly versatile.
SINCE THE 1920S FALCON ENAMELWARE HAS BEEN AN ICON OF BRITISH HOME LIFE.
Originally manufactured in the Black Country area near Birmingham, England, Joe Kleiner & Sons created the original enamelware brand, distinctively ice-white with the blue rim, the classic design is still instantly recognisable to this day. In 2011, the original collection was revitalised – creating new colours and cookware sets along with increasing the gauge of the classic mug, making the products more durable and hard wearing.
They continue to expand the range, by developing new tooling for beautiful yet functional products and now successfully selling in over 50 countries around the world.
As well as timeless elegance, Falcon Enamelware has enduring strength. Enamelware is porcelain fused onto heavy-gauge steel, giving it many admirable qualities - durability, smoothness and chemical-resistance. It can assume brilliant, long-lasting colours, and cannot burn. If you drop it, it may chip but it won’t break. Dishwasher-safe and oven-safe up to 530F / 270C, it can also be used on gas and electric hobs.
You can sign up for their mailing list, follow them on Twitter, Instagram or Facebook to be the first to hear about new launches.
Falcon Enamelware is a staple that is made to be collectible and last for generations. Mix and Match colors for a colorful table setting and just have fun with it!
Peach season is the most important season in my world and one of the only things I love about summer!! And this peach pie is going to be a huge hit for your friends and family!

Quiche Lorraine With Bacon and Gruyere recipe
This quiche Lorraine recipe yields a rich egg pie and hails from the mountainous region of Lorraine in northern France. Sufficient for a filling meal in itself, quiche Lorraine has been adapted over the years from a humble custard and bacon pie to the substantial cheese, bacon, and egg creation that it is known for today. We enjoyed this for Bastille Day this year!
Ingredients
1 layer pie dough (use this recipe here , just only make one ball to roll out)
4 slices bacon (crumbled)
4 eggs
1 cup half and half
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon white pepper
1/8 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
1 cup Gruyere cheese (shredded)
Steps to Make It
Preheat the oven to 375 F.
Fit the pastry into a deep-dish pie pan.
Sprinkle the bacon onto the bottom layer of the pastry.
Beat together the eggs, half and half, salt, pepper, and nutmeg.
Pour the eggs over the bacon and sprinkle with the shredded cheese.
Bake the quiche for 45 to 50 minutes, until the eggs are set in the middle.
Cool slightly and serve.
Highly recommend the Falcon Prep Set. It’s a six-piece bowl and colander set, with a bowl big enough to make a cake right down to small dishes for nibbles. I use tons of bowls when I bake!
This set contains
1 x 9½" mixing bowl
1 x 9½" colander
1 x 7" mixing bowl
1 x 6⅓" mixing bowl
1 x 5½" mixing bowl
1 x 4¾" mixing bowl
How lovely is the 3 PINT JUG in Mustard Too?!
Ideal for chilled drinks or a simple serving of water. Tall and slender, their 3 pint pitcher also makes a fantastic vase for floral displays or fresh eucalyptus!
You just cannot go wrong with anything from Falcon Enamelware!!!!
Here are a few notes on the products too!
How can I clean my Falcon Enamelware?
Lemon juice can remove stains from Falcon enamelware products, such as tea stains on mugs. Soaking the products in warm soapy water will help remove baked on food, but avoid using abrasive sponges or brushes as this may scratch the surface. Coating your pans in a light layer of oil before cooking can help with cleaning after use.
If my enamelware chips can I still use it?
Yes. Just like any other ceramic, the outer porcelain layer can chip if dropped, revealing the steel beneath it. When this happens the steel below naturally oxidises and the enamelware remains safe to use. Plus, in our opinion, it gains a little more character.
