Description
Quiches are savory pies that consist of a pastry crust filled with a mixture of eggs, cream, cheese, and various ingredients such as vegetables, meat...
They are a popular dish in French cuisine and have gained international recognition.
The crust of a quiche is made from buttery shortcrust pastry, which provides a crisp and flaky texture.
The filling made with beaten eggs and cream, is poured into the crust and mixed with other ingredients like sautéed onions, mushrooms, spinach, bacon, ham, or cheese. The combination of the custard-like filling and the flavorful ingredients creates a rich and satisfying taste.
Quiches can be served warm or cold, making them versatile for different occasions. They are commonly enjoyed as a breakfast or brunch dish, but they can also be served as a light lunch or dinner option. Quiches offer a delightful balance of flavors and textures, with the buttery crust complementing the creamy filling and the various ingredients adding their distinct tastes.
These savory pies are often sliced into individual portions and can be enjoyed on their own or accompanied by a side salad or fresh fruits.
