How to Make Quiche Lorraine the French Way (Authentic Recipe)

Here is a simplified version using store-bought puff pastry. This particular quiche is typically made with gruyère cheese and bacon (French lardons) on a pâte brisée crust.

This recipe is meant for 6 servings.

  • 7 oz of bacon, sliced into ½ in pieces
  • 1 ½ cups of grated gruyère cheese (or another similar cheese like Swiss cheese or Emmental cheese)
  • 3 whole eggs
  • 1 ¼ cups heavy cream
  • Salt, to taste
