Quiche


Quiche

A quiche [IPA: ki:ʃ] (also known in British English as a flan) is a pie that is made primarily of eggs and cream in a pastry crust. Other ingredients such as chopped meat, vegetables and cheese are often added to the eggs before the quiche is baked.

Quiche Lorraine is perhaps the most common variety. In addition to the egg and cream, it includes bacon. Cheese (usually Swiss) is not an ingredient of the original Lorraine recipe. The addition of onion to Quiche Lorraine makes Quiche Alsacienne.

The word quiche is derived from the Lorrain dialect of the French language, and entered English in 1941.
