A specialty from the Northeastern region of Lorraine, this tart — consisting of ingredients like crust, custard, bacon, and cheese — was first enjoyed in the countryside before gaining popularity all over France. Now, bakeries across the country sell it.
Trader Joe’s quiche Lorraine was very authentic when it came to its flavor and consistency. The main difference between the tarts in the American store and the ones in France was their size.
At home, a traditional bakery sells the tarts in a smaller size made for individual consumption, but the Trader Joe’s version could feed at least two people.
Slice it in half if you’re cooking for two people or want to make it into two meals. Or, if you’re feeding several, you can cut it four ways and enjoy it as a starter.
This dish would also pair especially well with salads and dips at lunchtime.
