Quiche Lorraine from Theresa Gilliam
You may have guests begging you for your secrets to making this classic preparation. What will you tell them? Will you share the fact that you used two kinds of Swiss cheese? That it is heavy cream that makes the custard so rich and fluffy? We know that the bacon-fat-enriched pie dough is the real secret, but we will never tell!
