A classic no doubt, a favorite at the bistrot or for dinner among friends. Everyone will add their special combo, I like my quiche simple.

Al the ingredients are standard in France but not in the US but fear not Trader Joe’s got your back:

• Pate Brisee / Pie dough
• 150gr Lardon (use the packaged pancetta from TJ) and ham
• 1 table spoon wine vinegar (preferably raspry wine vinegar)
• 1 thick slice of ham
• 125gr Creame Fraiche (available at TJ) you will use about half the container + milk
• 3 eggs
• 80gr gruyere (also available at TJ)
• pepper and nutmeg

Step1:

Preheat oven at 395 F

Step 2

Cook the pancetta in a pan, add a table spoon of raspbery wine vinegar. Dry on a paper towel to remove excess oil.

Step 3

Cut the ham in short strips. Mix the eggs, 50 gr of cheese and creme fraiche/milk mixture. Use a whisk so it fluffs a little

Step 4:

Place the pate brisee in a medium size tarte pan. poke it with a fork. place the lardon at the bottom. pour the egg mixture. put the rest of the cheese on top

Step 5

Place in the oven for about 40 minutes
