JULIA CHILD'S QUICHE LORRAINE - ADAPTED

Julia Child's Quiche Lorraine - Adapted image

This is the original quiche, which was more of a custard, without cheese. It is so rich it will wow your guests! In the original recipe the bacon is boiled for 5 minutes (to remove the smoke flavor) then drained and cooked crisp about 3 minutes --no need to do this if you don't have the time!
