Grain-Free Mother’s Day Quiche Lorraine

by

Mother’s Day Brunch or serving her breakfast in bed is a tradition for many, and this Quiche Lorraine is perfect for just that! Although this particular quiche is unmistakably French, as it comes from the Lorraine region of France, quiche itself actually originated in Germany. In fact, the word quiche comes from the German word “kuchen” which means cake. This open-faced pie originally included only eggs, cream, and lardons (fatty pork). Today there are many versions but the most popular came about in 1950’s Britain and America and is now known to contain eggs, heavy cream, bacon, Gruyere, and caramelized onions. 

This quiche is not only delicious and a complete meal in itself, it can even be made the day before and warmed back up in the oven before serving. This allows for easy entertaining or some extra time to help the kids wrap mom’s gifts. All in all, this quiche offers a stunningly beautiful mosaic of its ingredients and a flavor like none other! Light and fluffy eggs are surrounded by salty and crispy bacon, sweet caramelized onions, ooey gooey cheese, and creamy coconut, all encased in a flaky, buttery crust. What more could mom ask for? Celebrate mom with this classic quiche. It’s so good it may just become your new Mother’s Day tradition!
