Quiche Lorraine, a beloved dish hailing from the northeastern region of France, is a savory pie consisting of a pastry crust filled with a custard mixture of eggs, cream, and typically bacon or lardons. Historically, the quiche originates from the German-influenced region of Lorraine, which was known for its rich culinary traditions. Its name "quiche" is derived from the German word "kuchen," meaning cake. While the dish has evolved over time, becoming a staple in French cuisine, its popularity has spread globally. Interestingly, there's a humorous anecdote that the quiche became associated with sophistication in the 1980s, with the phrase "real men don't eat quiche" ironically highlighting its reputation as a refined dish in contrast to more stereotypically masculine fare.
