JMAnyone know some good french quiche recipes?
Quiche Lorraine is by far the most popular French quiche, and it's great because it's a classic that can be served at any time of the day (and still tastes absolutely delicious). It features bacon and Swiss cheese (though of course, you can substitute either of those to your liking if you don't like bacon or Swiss).


You can even add ingredients to it. My favorites for additions include mushrooms or red bell peppers.





Here's a link to the recipe.





Good luck!
