Quiche

Quiche is a classic French dish, however some people believe it was known in English cuisine at least as early as the 14th century. There are other foods that are similar to a quiche. One food that is similar is the frittata. They are both made with egg and other great ingredients such as cheese and bacon. The frittata comes from Italy and quiche comes from France or even from the English. There are more differences but the most noticeable is that the frittata does not consist of crust unlike the quiche.

Quiche is a simple meal to make. First you can use milk or cream, preferably cream. Of course eggs are the main ingredient in this dish. Once the eggs and cream have been mixed together you can add other ingredients you love like cheese, bacon or even vegetables. Quiche can be made in different ways. In America we don’t like to include the crust, but in France they make it the original way with a savory crust on the bottom.

The places where we are most likely to find quiche in France is in most restaurants in the area and in the local French markets. The most famous quiche is a Quiche Lorraine, made with eggs, cream, cheese, and bits of bacon, but there are many other quiche varieties. This sounds amazing and would be a good and healthy breakfast item, but you can eat it anytime of the day. In fact, the French like to eat their quiche for dinner most often. Quiche in France costs on average of about five Euros but generally costs six Euros or less.
