"A classic Quiche Lorraine with a gorgeous smooth filling loaded with bacon. Make this with my EASY shortcrust pastry (recipe below) or use store bought - your choice! The measures in this recipe work with both US and metric (rest of world!) measures. Quiche is a brilliant make ahead because it's one of those things that truly reheats well without compromise - see notes. Recipe VIDEO below...."
