What is a quiche?

Just as, for example, pizza is a popular dish in Italy, so the French are fond of a savory pie known as quiche.

This savory pie, with the most common filling of beaten eggs and cream, is served cut into triangles and eaten while still hot.

Among the most famous variants of this dish is quiche lorraine with bacon, which used to be baked with bread dough. Today, however, it is made from a softer dough, filled with eggs, cream and bacon.

Quiche is especially suitable as an appetizer, but you can have it as a main course or just to sit with friends.
