Puff pastry pie with bacon Lorraine
6 servings
60 minutes
Lorraine-style puff pastry pie with bacon is a refined dish of French cuisine from the Lorraine region. Its base is crispy puff pastry, a delicate creamy filling with eggs and cheese, fried bacon, and aromatic onions. Historically, this pie is linked to traditional French cuisine and resembles the famous Quiche Lorraine. The flavor of the dish is harmonious: the creamy texture of cream and eggs combines with the smoky saltiness of bacon, the rich sweetness of onions, and a hint of nutmeg's spiciness. It suits both family lunches and festive dinners and pairs wonderfully with white wine or fresh green salad. This pie embodies French culinary art where simple ingredients transform into a sophisticated delicacy.
