La Quiche Lorraine by Camille

 4 people-easy to make

Impossible  to share with you a French recipe from Alsace without a recipe from Lorraine!

These two cities are side by side, also with Germany. Their history is complex: because of war, they were German, then French, then German, then French... 

Alsace and Lorraine didn’t like too much each other for some reasons belonging to the past, that’s why i choose to reunite them with these 2 pie recipe :D 

I must also do honor to my Lorraine origins, obviously

Both have two ways to cook a french pie. One with onions, other one with meat.

La quiche Lorraine is the most famous pie in France, my mum used to cook it at least one per week.

If you are vegetarian you can put some smoked tofu instead of bacon.
