There’s a reason some things are considered classics. They are tried and true and seldom disappoint. Quiche is one of those things that delivers every time. Classic Quiche Lorraine, named after the Lorraine region of France, is perfect for breakfast or brunch, but could be served anytime of day.
Before you start:
For best results, prepare the crust in advance and make sure it is refrigerated for at least one hour before filling and baking. If serving for breakfast, consider preparing and refrigerating the night before.
Your quiche is done when the center is set and not jiggly.
If the edge of the crust begins to brown too much before the center is set cover just the crust with a thin strip of aluminum foil.
Refrigerate any remaining quiche in an airtight container for up to two days.
