Two Quiche Lorraines and a Side Salad
Choose between two different takes on the classic quiche: either Lorraine style with caramelized onions and pancetta, or the other with leeks, goat cheese, and spinach.


For the dough:
Pâte brisée or puff pastry, enough to line your tray
For the egg mixture:
6 eggs
200 g crème fraîche
200 g milk
2 tbsp Nordic Shoyu or Mushroom Garum
Salt and pepper, to season
For Option 1 - Lorraine
200 g pancetta or bacon
4 onions, finely sliced
For Option 2 - Vegetarian
3 leeks, finely sliced
200 g spinach
150 g goat's cheese
For the salad:
200 g of mixed greens - i.e. lettuce, frisée, radicchio
4 tbsp olive oil
2 tbsp Nordic Shoyu or Mushroom Garum
1 tbsp Wild Rose Vinegar
1 tsp mustard
2 tsp honey
Prepare the quiche:
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).
- Pre-bake the Crust: Place the dough in a baking tray, add some weight (such as pie weights or dry beans), and pre-bake for 15 minutes until lightly golden.
Prepare the filling:
- Option 1: Sauté the pancetta until nice and golden brown, and remove from pan. Add the sliced onions and slowly caramelize
- Option 2: Slice and cook the leeks until browned, then add the spinach and sauté. Crumble the goat cheese and combine.
Prepare the final product:
- In a bowl, whisk together the cream and eggs until smooth. Add the prepared filling ingredients. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Pour the filling mixture into the pre-baked pie crust. Bake for about 35 minutes, or until the quiche is lightly golden and set in the center.
- Allow the quiche to rest for about 10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature.
Prepare the salad:
- Wash and dry the different leaves. Place in a salad bowl.
- In a small bowl, whisk together mustard, oil, Wild Rose Vinegar, Nordic Shoyu or Mushroom Garum, and honey. Season to taste.
- Just before serving, toss the salad greens in the dressing.
- Optionally, garnish with nuts, seeds, or cheese.
