In detail

Quiche Lorraine is a savoury open tart of eggs, cream and bacon in a pastry shell. It takes its name from the Lorraine region of north-eastern France and is the best-known of all quiches.

What it actually is

A shortcrust pastry case is filled with a custard of beaten eggs and cream, seasoned with pepper and nutmeg, and studded with lardons — small pieces of smoky bacon. It is baked until the custard is just set and lightly golden. The classic recipe has no cheese, though many kitchens now add Gruyère.

How it's served

  • Warm or cold, cut into wedges.
  • With a green salad — the standard light lunch.
  • As part of a buffet or picnic spread.

Writing it on a menu

  • Say whether yours includes cheese — purists expect none.
  • Offer a vegetarian version (leeks, spinach) and label it, since the classic contains bacon.
  • Note it contains gluten, egg and dairy.
