The Lorraine region in northeastern France is associated with numerous notable cuisines. Potato stew, smoked bacon, macarons, and madeleines all have roots of origin, or development in Lorraine-but what first comes to mind is their most famous dish, the quiche. While this region's namesake quiche contains bacon, we sought a meatless version-still hoping to convey the richness of flavor that comes with the original. To do so, we traveled to the source (of course!) and found French bakers with the traditional knowledge & skills needed to create Trader Joe's Mixed Mushrooms & Spinach Quiche. The crust is made with wheat flour and real butter. The savory custard center consists of eggs, crème fraîche, and Emmental Swiss, with chopped spinach, and a blend of White Button & Oyster mushrooms. Just the right amount of salt, and nutmeg (that not-so-secret, secret ingredient) help delicately balance all the flavors. The umami of the mushrooms, combined with the rich custard makes for a wonderfully satisfying meal. Add a simple side salad of Champs Elysees greens, and a glass of Révélation Chardonnay, and you might as well be having lunch at a Metz café. It'll cost you much less, though.
