Spinach and Goat Cheese Quiche

Cultural Context

Quiche originated in the Lorraine region of France, evolving from a simple dish of eggs and cream baked in a pastry crust. Traditionally, it was a savory meal for farmers, but it has since become a beloved dish in French cuisine, often served at brunch or lunch. The combination of spinach and goat cheese highlights the French penchant for fresh, local ingredients, and modern variations can be found around the world, adapting to different tastes and dietary preferences.
