Spinach & Asparagus Quiche

Cultural Context

Quiche, a savory custard tart, has its roots in the Lorraine region of France. Traditionally, it was made with eggs, cream, and bacon, but variations like this spinach and asparagus quiche highlight seasonal vegetables and cater to lighter tastes. Quiche is often enjoyed as a versatile dish for brunch or lunch, and has been embraced globally, with countless adaptations featuring different fillings.
