Quiche Lorraine Recipe – French Tart

Hi, today I made quiche Lorraine. It’s a signature French tart from Lorraine region of France. It’s a simple dish made with lardon (smoked porc) and egg filling. Traditionally it’s baked without cheese but with emmental cheese quiche Lorraine is much more delicious.

By the way, do you remember my Madeleines? Madeleines are also from Lorraine. :)
