Quiche Lorraine

Go back to basics with this crowd-pleasing number. Quiche Lorraine is one of the classics of French cooking, much loved for its hearty combination of eggs, bacon, cheese and pastry. The finished product looks impressive but it’s actually very quick and easy to make, using ready-rolled short crust and a combi microwave to cut down on prep and cooking time.
