La quiche Lorraine!

Savoury, easy to make, perfect added to some crisp salad dressed with a delicious vinaigrette. I love it for lunch or dinner and it is always a win with kids! It is funny, at home, mum always had some pastry in the fridge. She knew, that in case she didn’t have the time to prepare for dinner, me and my sister would easily be able to make a quiche. This dish can be made all year around. I love it when out off the oven on a cold winter night, or eaten cold at a picnic in the summer days.

I will be sharing a lot of savoury quiche ideas on the blog, not only because it is a classic in french cuisine, but also because it is full of protein and a good way to get your 5 a days (The quiche Lorraine is an exception to that though haha). And mostly, because it is so easy to make.
