Quiche Lorraine, a classic of French gastronomy, is an iconic dish appreciated for its rich taste and pleasant texture. However, in our revisited version of this traditional dish, we are moving towards a lighter recipe, without dough, to satisfy both the palate and the desire for a lighter diet. The quiche, in this modern variation, retains its gourmet heart with choice ingredients: delicately sliced ​​ham, subtly measured cheese, and a creaminess provided by a mixture of eggs and milk.
At the heart of this recipe is the balance between simplicity and flavour. With only a few basic ingredients, preparing this quiche does not require advanced culinary skills, making it accessible to everyone, whether you are a novice in the kitchen or an experienced chef. The lightness of the quiche is achieved by the absence of
pastry, an innovation that allows this dish to be enjoyed without the heaviness usually associated with traditional tarts and quiches. The choice of semi-skimmed milk and low-fat cheese emphasizes the healthy aspect of the recipe, without compromising on taste.
The preparation of this quiche begins by preheating the oven, a crucial step to ensure even cooking and a nice browning. Making the quiche mixture, a light and airy mixture of eggs, milk and flour, is the heart of the
recipe. This mixture, seasoned with care, will welcome the diced ham to create a harmony of flavors. The use of flour gives the quiche its consistency while preserving its lightness, while the cheese brings a gourmet and melting touch.
Finally, assembling the quiche is child’s play: once the ham is placed in the prepared mold, the mixture is poured on top, and the whole thing is topped with cheese before being sent to the oven. Baking transforms
these simple elements into a golden, gratinated and irresistibly appetizing dish. Whether for a quick weekday meal, a friendly weekend brunch or even an aperitif dinner, this light Quiche Lorraine without crust promises to delight all gourmets, while remaining faithful to the spirit of French cuisine.
