Quiche

Quiche: In gastronomy, a quiche is a type of salty tart derived from French cuisine. It is mainly made with a preparation of beaten eggs and thick fresh cream, mixed with cut vegetables, and / or meat products, with which a shortcrust pastry mold is filled and cooked in the oven.

The word quiche is derived from the word Küchen in the Lorraine dialect, spoken in the Lorraine region of northeast France. This term in turn derives from the German Kuchen (pastel).

The Quiche Lorraine (feminine in French) is native to the Lorraine region of France. It is known as the original recipe from which all other quiche variants come. The word first appears in Nancy, the capital of Lorraine, in 1605 at first, the filling was made up only of eggs and fresh cream or milk. In the 19th century, the small strips or tacos of lean, fresh or smoked bacon were added , which characterize the quiche lorraine of today.

Cheese is not an ingredient in the original quiche lorraine recipe, but is found along with strips of bacon, in its variant called quiche vosgienne , from the French Vosges region.

When sautéed onion is added to the quiche lorraine filling, it is called quiche alsacienne , typical of the Alsace region of France.

Today you can find quiches with the addition of countless fillings to serve as starters , main or desserts . Miniquiches, funny and small elaborations presented as appetizers are also frequent .
