A SUMMERTIME PICNIC CLASSIC

A simple recipe from Samantha at @GoFrenchYourself, ‘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’.
