This Pioneer Woman quiche recipe is a great way to start your day. Whip it up for breakfast now!
Quiche is a fantastic breakfast food that most people think is straight out of France. The truth is, quiche is originally a German dish.
Specifically, quiche was created in the German kingdom of Lothringen, which later became Lorraine. Now you know where the name Quiche Lorraine came from!
Originally there was no cheese in this dish, only eggs, cream and bacon. Thank goodness someone got their wits about them and started adding delcious cheese.
If you add onions, the quiche suddenly originates from the Alsatian region (and also gets a lot tastier!).
