As a French I like food and especially the one that my mom was used to cook when I was a kid. Those dishes were the yummiest I ever had in a my childhood.
Among her secrete receipe, quiche was one of my favorite. Quiche is a classic dish of French cuisine and here is my version of it, slightly adapted from her version.
