France has a population of over 66 million people, is located in Western Europe with its capital in Paris, and borders the Mediterranean Sea to the south. Quiche Lorraine originated in the Lorraine region of France in the 16th century and is made with eggs, cream, vegetables, meat such as bacon or ham, pastry dough, and cheese. To make it, beat the cream and cheese with eggs until smooth, cook bacon until crisp, layer the bacon in a pastry-lined pan, pour the egg mixture over top, and bake at 400 degrees until puffed and golden brown.
