Quiche Lorraine

Original Recipe from:  Virginia Bowers-Johnson

My mother loved to make Quiche for her ladies luncheons.  Evidently the men in her life didn’t appreciate quiche, so she saved it for her lady friends.  She would make the quiche, a delicious salad (like Wilted Leaf Lettuce or a Spinach Salad), and a decadent dessert (such as a Coconut Cake or Mini Cheese Cakes), and a pot of tea.  Now that you have a menu in mind, schedule a lady’s luncheon for your friends and have a lovely afternoon together.  Enjoy!
