Classic Quiche Lorraine

As always, interpreting even popular cuisine, especially if talking about pastry I re-read several sources. A classic recipe is all you need for a perfect weekend brunch. For today I have chosen  an absolutely universal and incredible Quiche Lorraine. Actually, I love all kinds of quiches because they can be prepared for any meals.
