The quiche lorraine is a savory pie of French origin that has conquered kitchens around the world. This tart, made with a shortcrust pastry base and a creamy filling of eggs, cream, cheese, and bacon, stands out for its versatility: it can be served hot or cold, as a main course, appetizer, or even at a picnic. Its silky texture and intense flavor make it a classic of savory baking.
Originally from the Lorraine region in northeastern France, the traditional recipe originally only contained cream, eggs, and bacon. Over time, versions with cheese, onion, or ham became popular, such as the one we present here, which includes serrano ham, bacon, onions, and a touch of chives.
This recipe is perfect for those seeking a comforting and elegant dish without complications. Its preparation is simple, although it requires patience for the dough to rest and for baking. The result is a golden, juicy quiche full of nuances that will surprise your guests.
