Prepared in single portions, a shortcrust pastry is filled with a mixture of eggs, savory pancetta, sweet red datterini tomatoes, fresh cream and grated Parmesan cheese for the perfect balance of sweet and intense flavors, and a unique creaminess.
The ideal pairing for this deliciously savory quiche? A glass of Bianco Friulano Superiore from the Friuli Grave area DOC, which will certainly not be overwhelmed by the tastier notes of the preparation. Here's how to prepare the mini quiche Lorraine with datterini, step by step!
