Quiche is one of those recipes that many think are too complicated or elaborate to make. However, you’ll be surprised to know that the French tend to use simple ingredients, and simple methods when it comes to quiche. The only thing that you really have to worry about is what you’ll be making it for. We’re all for having quiches at picnics or an alfresco lunch in the spring sunshine!
You can use store-bought pastry, or make your own shortcrust for a light, fluffy and fully homemade French delight! These recipes use seasonal ingredients, along with the staples of cream, egg and cheese, to create quintessential quiches perfect for hot-weather entertaining. Serve them hot from the oven, or cooled, and enjoy:
