An all-time family favourite, this delicious Quiche Lorraine recipe is ideal for summer evening al fresco dining and those last-minute Sunday picnics. Taken from Eric Lanlard's Tart It Up book.
<h3>What is Quiche Lorraine?</h3>
This tasty quiche is a French recipe; it's a rich savoury tart made with eggs, cream, bacon lardons, and cheese.
<h3>Where is Quiche Lorraine from?</h3>
It was created in Lorraine, a region in North-eastern France. The word 'quiche' may come from the German word 'kuchen', which means cake.&nbsp;
<h3>How long should I bake a quiche at 180°C?</h3>
Once your quiche is filled and ready for baking, it should be baked in your oven at 180°C for approximately 30-35 minutes to ensure the filling's cooked through. The top of the quiche should look golden brown and slightly crispy.
