The traditional Quiche Lorraine is a savory tart made with a shortcrust pastry filled with a custard mixture and smoked bacon. The custard is made from eggs, heavy cream, pepper, and sometimes a little salt (usually not needed because of the bacon); some people add a bit of nutmeg. The original Quiche Lorraine did not include cheese. Today, I'm sharing my own take on Quiche Lorraine, inspired by my mom's advice!
