I love all sorts of food from all over the world but la cuisine française is definitely one of my most favorites! Lucky enough, I participated in a language exchange with a french school during my high school time! Over there, in Toul, I got to know a lovely french family and I am so happy that we are still in contact!!! During one of my visits, my exchange partner taught me how to make a typical french dish: Quiche Lorraine.
As my boyfriend has never tried it before, I decided to make one today for dinner. It goes perfectly with a fresh salad and a nice vinaigrette. Here is how to make Quiche Lorraine in a few simple steps:
Ingredients
- Puff pastry
- 3 eggs
- 300ml of cream
- 250g of bacon bits
- grated cheese (ideally french cheese)
- salt, pepper and french herbs
Directions
- Put the puff pastry in the baking tin and make some holes in the pastry with a fork so that it gets fluffy when baking later on
- Mix the eggs and the cream and add salt, pepper and french herbs
- Frie the bacon bits and place them onto the pastry
- Fill up the rest with the egg/cream mix
- Preheat the oven to 180°C
- Bake the quiche for around 30 minutes (baking time depends on the oven so have a look at it several times and reduce or extend baking time if necessary) until it is golden brown
Bon Appétit
