La quiche Lorraine

A quiche lorraine is a variant of quiche / savory pie from Lorraine and French cuisine, made with shortcrust pastry or puff pastry, egg , sour cream and bacon. It is the perfect meal for the dinner.

Ingredients :

• 2 eggs
• 75 gram of bacon 
• 120 gram of sour cream 
•  pepper and salt 
  
  

Preparation :

1. Preheat the oven to 200°C

3.  Once the bacon is ready, mix it with the beaten eggs and the sour cream
4. Add the pepper and salt
5.  Put the preparation on the oven during 30 minutes
6.  Eat it with salad and enjoy it 

The quiche lorraine is also a very good friend of students in France, it does not cost you more than 5 euros to prepare it and you have enough for all the week. If you don’t like the bacon or you want that the recipe is a little healthier you can add mushrooms or red peppers. Check out this article to find more recipes.
