Super simple. Very tasty! Not the most traditional version of the quiche Lorraine, but so good! Freshly made quich dough with a filling of cheese, eggs, smoked bacon and cream. The ultimate comfort meal, if you ask me!

- Add salt and a splash of water to the crumbs and mix until a dough consistency. make a flat square, wrap with plastic wrap and let rest for 20 minutes in the fridge
- Cut the bacon into small cubes and add them to a dry pan to crisp up. Set aside, but leave the grease in the pan.
- Finely mince the onions and let them caramelize in the bacon grease with some thyme
- Roll out the dough so that it can cover your quiche spring. grease the spring with butter and layer in with the dough. Make little holes in the bottom with a fork. in with some baking paper and a blind baking filling.
