Although quiche is known as a dish of classic French cuisine, historical records indicate that quiche actually originated in Germany in the middle ages in the medieval kingdom of Lothringen, which the French later occupied and renamed Lorraine. The word ‘quiche’ is from the German ‘Kuchen’, meaning cake.
The original ‘quiche Lorraine’ was an open pie with a filling of egg and cream custard with smoked bacon. It was only later that cheese was added to the quiche Lorraine. The bottom crust was originally made from bread dough, but that has long since evolved into a short-crust or puff pastry crust.
Quiche became popular in England sometime after the Second World War, and then in the U.S. during the 1950’s. Because of its primarily vegetarian ingredients, it was considered a somehow ‘unmanly’ dish, – “real men don’t eat quiche.” Today, one can find many varieties of quiche, from the original quiche Lorraine, to broccoli, mushrooms, ham and/or seafood (primarily shellfish). Quiche can be served as an entrée, for lunch, breakfast or an evening snack.
At Importico’s, we bake our quiche daily using traditional old-world recipes with a variety of delicious flavors, including Quiche Lorraine, Veggie, Tomato & Goat Cheese and even gluten-free quiche.
