Quiche

Cultural Context

Originating from the Lorraine region of France, Quiche is a savory custard pie that traditionally features eggs and cream. It was originally a simple dish made by local farmers, but has evolved into a beloved staple in French cuisine, often served at brunch or as a light meal. Today, variations abound globally, with fillings ranging from vegetables to seafood, making it a versatile dish enjoyed in many cultures.
