What is quiche?

Answer 1

I hope this helps.It sounds great.

In cooking, a quiche (IPA: [ki:ʃ]) (also known in British English as a flan) is a pie that is made primarily of eggs and cream in a pastry crust. Other ingredients such as chopped meat, vegetables and cheese are often added to the eggs before the quiche is baked.

Quiche Lorraine is perhaps the most common variety. In addition to the egg and cream, it includes bacon. Cheese (usually Swiss) is not an ingredient of the original Lorraine recipe. The addition of onion to Quiche Lorraine makes Quiche Alsacienne.

The word quiche is derived from the Lorrain dialect of the French language, and entered English in 1941. Quiche is most commonly consumed as a breakfast or brunch food.

Answer 2

It's a French entry. You put a pie shell into a quiche pan. Make a fililng with meat and a vegetable and a mixture of beaten eggs, milk, cheese and some recipes call for a can of cream soup. Pour that ontop of the meat, cheese and vegatable. Bake for 50 minutes or however long the recipe says. There are different kinds of quiche, but they're fun and simple to make. I have a great recipe, I could share. But I wont have access to it, till I unpack Friday or Saturday at my new home.

Answer 3

I am making one for dinner - it's in the oven. I got it from a french cookbook.

Crust:
4 oz cream cheese
4 oz butter
1 cup flour

Filling:
3/4 cup cream
3 eggs
1/2 onion
4 slices bacon cooked
6 oz gruyere (or swiss) cheese

Blend crust ingredients well. Roll out and place in a pie pan.

Place onions bacon and cheese in crust. Mix eggs and cream and pour over the onions, bacon and cheese.

Bake at 350 degrees F for 30 - 35 minutes

If the pie plate is large add an extra egg and 1/4 cup of cream. I use half and half. Cream is so rich.
