Revisited Quiche Lorraine in a low GI and lactose-free version, to be enjoyed cold or hot depending on the outside temperature. My husband loves Quiche Lorraine, but to limit animal fat, I have made some changes to the ingredients and the result is perfect - both my husband and even my son approve. I love it with a small salad, and you can even take it on a picnic because it tastes great even when cold. To replace: - lardons ➡️ Bacon + tofu + smoked paprika (for vegetarians, replace Bacon with tofu) - animal cream ➡️ plant-based cream + choice of plant-based milk You can use smoked tofu, in which case there is no need to add smoked paprika. I must admit that I had to resist the temptation to add vegetables to it. But I promised a "real" Quiche Lorraine, well, almost... They didn't even notice the tofu, luckily, otherwise my husband would have complained.
