JUST A TINY BIT OF INFORMATION ON THE HISTORY AND ORIGIN OF "QUICHE LORRAINE".

Although Quiche is now considered to be a classic French cuisine dish, quiche actually originated in Germany, in the medieval Kingdom of Lothringen, under German Rule, and with the French later renamed "Lorraine" in the Lorraine Franconians dialect spoken in the Alsatian Region. The word "Quiche" came from the German word "Kuchen" which means "Cake".

The original "Quiche Lorraine" was an open pie with a filling of an egg and cream custard with smoked bacon. It was only later that cheese was added. To this, you add onions and you have the "QUICHE ALSATIENNE. The bottom crust was originally made from bread dough, but that was later replaced (by the French) with a SHORT CRUST or PUFF PASTRY CRUST.
