Quiche Lorraine's roots date back to France's rural Lorraine region.. Although it's considered a French dish, it came at a time when the Lorraine Region was under German rule. Also the word quiche comes from the German word kuchen, which means cake. The Lorraine region of France is also known for many other delectable dishes, including madeleines, Jordon almonds, macarons, and Lorraine hotpot... Of course, the area is also known for its viticulture.
The original Quiche Lorraine was made with an open pie made with a bottom crust and a filling of custard and smoked bacon. To cook the original Quiche, a cast-iron skillet was used. Cheese was added to the dish at a much later date.
The Classic Quiche Lorraine must have eggs, heavy cream, bacon, Swiss cheese, and a flaky crust. Quiche Lorraine can be hot or cold, but it must remain true to the original recipe whether you like it hot or cold. Of course, there are many different types of quiche recipes, but a dish that calls for ham, sausage, vegetables, or fruit is not Quiche Lorraine.
