Round savory custard tart baked in a pie dish.

Quiche Lorraine

France · Europe

Short description
This savory custard tart balances a flaky crust with a rich egg-and-cream filling.
Ingredients
Shortcrust pastry filled with eggs, cream, lardons or bacon, butter, salt, pepper, and nutmeg.
Cultural note
Its classic form is restrained: the custard and cured pork carry the dish without needing a long list of additions.
Common misconception
Cheese appears in many modern versions, but the older plain custard-and-lardon style is a separate reference point.
