Quiche Lorraine
Quiche Lorraine is a traditional French dish originally from the Lorraine region. The dish's history dates back to 16th-century France, where it was first prepared as a simple pie. The dish has since become popular worldwide, and there are now many variations, but Quiche Lorraine remains one of the best known. The dish is based on a buttery pie crust, which is topped with a rich, egg-creamy filling dominated by bacon and cheese.

It combines the simplicity and sophistication of French cuisine, making it a truly elegant meal that is perfect for special occasions and festive meals. The richness of the pie filling and the smoky flavor of the bacon combine in the smooth egg cream, resulting in a harmonious and mouth-watering dish.
