The traditional French quiche Lorraine. It’s super easy, quick and everyone like it! 🇫🇷 Perfect for brunch!

Ingredients:

• For the shortcrust pastry ( you can also use ready puff pastry if you prefer puff pastry): for a small tart pan
  • 200 g flour
  • 100 g butter – soft, not melted!
  • a tiny bit of water, just few tsp
    
• 200 g small bacon pieces

• A bit of nutmeg
• Salt & pepper

Instructions:

1. Prepare the dough by mixing the soft butter and the flour together in a bowl. Add a bit of water if needed (if the dough is too dry, like sand and you cannot form a ball with it). Knead the dough by hand then form a ball. Roll it out and place in a tart pan covered with baking paper. Optional: Let it in the fridge for 20 min.
2. Preheat your oven to 180 ° C.
3. Heat the bacon pieces in a frying pan until they are golden.
4. Beat eggs, cream and milk together in a mixing bowl.
5. Add bacons to the mix, salt, pepper and nutmeg.
6. Finally add the grated cheese.
7. Pour the filling on top of the dough and then sprinkle a bit of grated cheese on top.
8. Bake in the oven for 45 min.
9. Remove from the oven when the top is golden, let it set for 5min.
