Quiche Lorraine

Quiche is never wrong! Wonderful lunch or even a light dinner. Incredibly tasty despite few ingredients. The classic quiche calls for smoked bacon.

In standard cases, you make a simple egg filling, but here I mix in some flour in the egg filling, which makes the mixture slightly firmer. Suitable for the quiche is a simple green salad with a tasty dressing. Continue reading “Quiche Lorraine”
