Hello everybody, it’s Louise, welcome to our recipe page. Today, I’m gonna show you how to prepare a special dish, authentic quiche lorraine. One of my favorites. For mine, I am going to make it a bit unique. This is gonna smell and look delicious.
Delicious quiche with homemade crust (it's worth it). It's my understanding that the addition of cheese to quiche is not common in France, and the addition of onions to a Quiche Lorraine transforms it into Quiche Alsacienne (from the region of Alsace rather than the region of Lorraine). Regardless, Classic French Cooking by Luard, the source of this recipe, includes neither.

Traditionally the Quiche Lorraine was served with a beer. Wine is also an optimal choice. With the salty and creamy taste of the Quiche Lorraine, a dry, light and fresh wine will be perfect.
