I have only had a quiche a few times in my life so I thought it would be fun to make this one at home. The recipe calls for you to first make the Pate Brisee recipe for homemade pie dough. It was a very simple pie dough to make and I really loved the tip to put the dough between two pieces of parchment paper to roll it out – it was so easy to do. Plus you than have the parchment paper to put in the pie plate.Â
The only ingredients I didn’t have at home were the crème fraiche (normally found in the fancy cheese section near the deli in most grocery stores) and some whole milk, both easy to find in the store.Â
Quiche Lorraine is an easy dish to prepare and makes a lovely dinner. The dish was flavorful and the nutmeg was the perfect amount for the recipe not overpowering, which it can be sometimes. I have to admit I did have two large pieces and I loved it. Quiche Lorraine will definitely be added to my normal meal rotation.Â
