Quiche is a savory tart originating from French cuisine, celebrated for its rich and satisfying flavor. It features a flaky pastry crust filled with a mixture of eggs, cream, and various ingredients such as cheese, vegetables, meats, or seafood. Popular variations include quiche Lorraine, which traditionally contains bacon and cheese. Quiche is a versatile dish often served warm or cold, making it a favorite for breakfast, brunch, or even dinner. Nutritionally, it offers a good source of protein from eggs and potential vitamins and fiber from added vegetables. However, its cream and cheese content can be high in saturated fats, and the crust contributes carbohydrates, sometimes refined. Health-conscious versions can substitute cream with milk and utilize whole-grain crusts or leaner fillings to reduce calories and increase nutritional value. Quiche's adaptability allows for balancing indulgence with healthier choices, depending on preparation.
