I love quiche Lorraine—the egg custard, the melty gruyere cheese, the spinach, the mushrooms, the ham. I usually just pour the filling into a frozen pie crust and bake—but I am never totally satisfied. But then, every once in a while, the perfect recipe just slides into your imagination DMs and you know it’s destiny. I started hollowing out a baguette, and I knew this was going to be a winner—I just felt it in my bones.
Soon I was posting about this long quiche in which the bread replaces the pie crust, and people flooded me with reactions like, “Oh, my god, WHAT is this? I MUST have this!” Slicing into it and hearing that crunch just sealed the deal. It holds together while still being moist and fluffy, and it’s so full of flavor.
Bread choice is important here, so look for a baguette or a loaf with a firm outer crust (a little wider and shorter is even better than longer and skinnier). I plan on wrapping this up in foil, throwing it into my tote bag, and whipping it out at a brunch. It’s beautiful, it’s f*cking delicious, it’s a forever recipe!
