Quiche Recipes - AFTouch-Cuisine
Quiche is one of those recipes that transcends generations without ever losing its charm. Originating from Lorraine, this savory tart filled with eggs and cream has become far more than a regional dish, it is a true French culinary institution, exported to every corner of the world. And for good reason! Quiche combines simplicity of execution with refinement of result, which would make it almost a culinary miracle, if it were not simply a matter of good ingredients and expertise.
Historically, the word "quiche" derives from the Alsatian word "Küchen", which means cake. In medieval times, in Lorraine, shortcrust pastry was already being used to enclose savory fillings. But the recipe we know today really took shape during the 19th century, with the addition of this custard made from eggs and fresh cream that gives quiche its very distinctive texture, soft in the center, slightly firm on the surface. Asfaux was not mistaken when he noted that "sometimes diving back into old cookbooks allows us to glimpse a small part of fundamental truths", the authentic Quiche lorraine truly deserves that we look into its origins to master it properly.
What makes quiche so wonderful is its ability to transform itself according to the seasons and your desires. You are free to imagine a thousand variations around this simple concept, a pastry, a filling, the custard that binds everything together. In winter, you turn to generous quiches like the Quiche leeks carrots and ham, comforting and flavorful. Spring invites you to discover the Quiche with asparagus or the Quiche with asparagus and ham, with their delicate notes and natural elegance. For the more adventurous, we offer surprising creations like the Quiche with melon, which plays with sweet and savory in a very refined way, or the Mouclade Charentaise en quiche, which transforms a Breton classic into an unexpected tart.
