Quiche Lorraine is perhaps the most common variety of quiche. In addition to the eggs and cream, it includes bacon or lardons. I know cheese is not really an ingredient of a true Quiche Lorraine, but rather than use double cream, I prefer to use [[mascarpone cheese]] or [[ricotta cheese]], both or more like cream than [[cheese]] and work really well in a savoury flan.
