What Is Quiche Lorraine?

Quiche Lorraine is a classic French dish made with eggs, cream, and bacon baked inside a pastry crust. Traditionally, it does not include cheese, but many modern versions add Gruyère for extra flavor.

How To Make Mini Quiche Lorraine

Start by cutting small circles of dough and pressing them into a muffin pan. Prebake the crust for a few minutes to prevent sogginess.

Add the bacon and cheese, then pour in the egg mixture and bake until set and golden.

The result is a crispy, creamy bite that’s hard to resist.
