Jamie's Quiche Lorraine

Jamie Oliver's Recipe for Quiche Lorraine.
Tea/ Dinner/ Lunch/ or a good nibble for a party/ Savoury Tart  

 

Since I've been a sweet and healthy treats baking maniac, I thought I'd post a savoury recipe that I borrowed from the brilliant +Jamie Oliver. This savoury tart is the perfect summer tea whether you pair it with a salad and new potatoes, go full out with your BBQ spread and have it as an extra side or take it to party where it'll be sure to be a knock out nibble shared amongst friends and family. It's deffinatly a great sharing dish and a traditional occasion dish for the whole family.

Lets get cooking...!

(+Jamie Oliver). As always I hope you give this recipe a try, you wont be disappointed! It's by far the best quiche I've probably ever eaten, as say's the rest of my family too, when we had it for tea with jersey royal new potatoes, salad and chunky sliced tomatoes. (Certainly filled the hole and was absolutely delicious at the same time!)
