Quiche Lorraine
Quiche Lorraine is the epitome of French bistro cuisine: buttery shortcrust pastry, a mild, spicy filling of eggs, cream, bacon and onion, plus crunchy herbs from the Loire. This variant underlines the airy, region-typical aroma with fine rosé wine as an ideal companion. Whether hot from the oven or cooled down on the picnic table - the quiche inspires with creamy melting, aromatic depth and French joie de vivre.
