To enjoy this Quiche Lorraine, preheat your oven to the temperature specified on the packaging, usually around 180°C (350°F). Remove the quiche from its packaging and place it on a baking tray. Bake for the recommended time, typically 15-20 minutes, until the pastry is golden and the filling is heated through and slightly firm. You can also microwave it for a quicker, though less crisp, result. Allow it to cool slightly before slicing and serving.
