Quiche Lorraine

Quiche Lorraine is a savory tart featuring a buttery pastry crust filled with a rich, creamy custard made from eggs and cream, studded with smoky bacon and nutty Gruyere cheese. The filling is seasoned with white pepper, then baked until golden and set, resulting in a delightfully luscious texture that is both velvety smooth and slightly firm.

The rich, creamy texture of Quiche Lorraine, with its buttery pastry, savory bacon, and nutty Gruyere cheese, pairs beautifully with a full-bodied Chardonnay. The wine's creamy mouthfeel and subtle oak notes complement the dish's lactic flavors, while its acidity cuts through the richness. Alternatively, a light-bodied Pinot Noir with bright acidity and red fruit notes can provide a refreshing contrast to the quiche's richness.
