For Florentine, sweat the shallot in butter, wilt the spinach, squeeze it dry, and cool.
For Roquefort and leek, clean the leeks well, slice them, blanch until tender, then squeeze out excess water.
For Lorraine, cook the bacon until lightly rendered, then fold with slowly cooked onions and thyme.
Use any of the garnishes in two light layers inside a blind-baked shell before adding the quiche appareil.
Jason's Notes
Once the shell and custard are sound, the garnish becomes the conversation. These three bistro combinations all work because they stay balanced and do not overload the custard.
