Quiche Lorraine

Light and fluffy, this scrumptious Quiche Lorraine is ideal for brunch, but it’s so fabulous that it can be served anytime. Quiche Lorraine is filled with Gruyere cheese, bacon, eggs, cream, green onion… what could be bad? Oh ya, and it’s baked in a flakey piecrust, which gives it an extra kick of buttery and savory flavor. There are so many different variations of quiche, but this combination with Gruyere cheese, bacon, and green onion is really a match made in heaven. Everyone will ask for seconds!
