Whether you’re scheming a weeknight dinner, having friends over for Sunday brunch or watching the Olympics in front of the TV, a terrific quiche will serve you well.
Our recipe is for a Quintessential Quiche Lorraine — the classic, with bacon and caramelized onions, in a beautiful batter based on eggs, with lots of cream.
Would you like cheese in your quiche? Grate up some Gruyère, Comté or Emmenthaler and layer it in. (Our recipe includes a cheese variation.) You can also make it vegetarian, swapping some sautéed mushrooms or spinach (or both!) for the bacon, or just about any cooked veg that strikes your fancy.
However you design that quiche, a slice of it will want to share the plate with a simple green salad. You can’t get more French than that!
