Description
Quiche Lorraine is a classic French savory pie from the Lorraine region that has gained worldwide popularity. The crispy, buttery shortcrust pastry hides a creamy filling of eggs, cream, and bacon, which becomes golden and velvety after baking. The traditional recipe does not include cheese - modern additions have enriched the basic version. Quiche is incredibly versatile - it can be served warm or at room temperature, for brunch, lunch, or a light dinner. It is a dish that elegantly combines the simplicity of ingredients with a refined taste.
