Quiche Lorraine

This Quiche is a favorite with everybody.Since moving to the U.S. I substituted the "Schwarzwaelder Schinken" with Bacon.Schinken at the German Deli is so expensive.I often make my own Creme fraiche but you can also use sour cream.The Quiche tastes richer with the Creme fraiche.Together with a simple,fresh salad it is a wonderful dinner.
