75 minutes
Mushroom and cheese Quiche Lorraine is an elegant dish of French cuisine that originated in the Lorraine region and gained worldwide popularity. This open pie made from crispy puff pastry hides a delicate filling of sautéed mushrooms, aromatic onions, and Dutch cheese enriched with a creamy egg-and-cheese custard. Subtle notes of freshly ground pepper and sea salt enhance the flavor, creating a harmonious balance of richness and lightness. Quiche can be served hot with a crispy golden crust or cold when its texture becomes denser but remains incredibly tender. Ideal for sophisticated breakfasts, cozy dinners, and festive tables, complemented by fresh vegetables or a glass of white wine.
