Here are a few of my favourite things thrown in together in a dish.. voila, the Quiche Lorraine! It could pass for a variation of bacon and eggs on toast and instead of a breakfast food, it's a lunch or dinner meal.
I made my own pastry this time but the pastry was a little dry but crumbly. How can it be possible for a pastry to be short but dry? I have yet to master the art of the pastry...
Have you ever wondered about the origins of the Quiche or quiche Lorraine? Who is this Lorraine chick who was so popular she got a quiche named after her? Did she like bacon and eggs too?
Apparently, the quiche was invented in a medieval German kingdom called Lothringen and was renamed by the French as Lorraine. The word 'quiche' is from the German word 'kuchen' which means cake. So Lothringen cake became Quiche Lorraine under the French.
Regardless whether it is a German or French invention, it is one of my favourite dishes to eat!
