Quiche Lorraine
Description
In French cuisine, a quiche is a baked dish that is made primarily of eggs and milk or cream in a pastry crust. Other ingredients such as cooked chopped meat, vegetables, or cheese are often added to the egg mixture before the quiche is baked. Quiche Lorraine is perhaps the most common variety. In addition to the eggs and cream, it includes bacon and cheese.
