This is a delicious version of quiche Lorraine.

Blue Ribbon Recipe

A step-by-step recipe for making a delicious bacon quiche Lorraine. Once baked, the eggs are fluffy with just the right amount of savory bacon and cheese. This version uses shredded cheddar cheese, but Gruyere or Emmental can also be used. Cooking the chopped onions in the bacon drippings adds another depth of flavor to the quiche. Serve warm or cold at a holiday brunch or special occasion breakfast, such as Mother's Day.
