- Mix gently with the tip of your finger
- Add a drip of milk (lol: yes i did "copy paste")
- The dough should be soft and not overworked : this way, it will be crumbly out of the oven.
- Place it between two sheets of baking paper
- Spread it to 3 - 4 mm thick
- Cover the pie dish and remove the upper layer
- Prick the pastry so that it doesn't rise (you can even put some dry beans on the pastry to prevent it)
- Bake in oven 20 minutes at 200°C or 400°F
- This is called in french "Cuire à Blanc" ( pre cook a pastry )

Making the filling
- Cut the smokey bacon into small pieces ( dice it :)
- In a bowl : 3 eggs
- Add the cup of milk and the cup of double cream
- Season with salt and pepper
- Fill the pre cooked pastry with dices of bacon
- Pour the creamy liquid on top.
- Bake in oven for at least 45 minutes at 200°C or 400°F
- Low position in the oven allows the dough to taste better
- It comes swollen but after 15 - 30 min, it will subside...

Very simple dish, easy to make and it can be kept in fridge for a few days.
When you come back after a long day of work, a slice of Quiche lorraine with salad is a prefect easy-quick-and-tasty dish.
