The Story of Quiche

Did you know that quiche wasn’t invented in France? The well-known egg dish was actually invented in Germany in the Middle Ages. In fact, the word ‘quiche’ reportedly comes from the German word kuchen, which means ‘cake.’

Quiche was originally made with just meat and eggs, no cheese and no veggies. The first vegetables to be added to quiche were onions but these days, you can find quiches made with almost any vegetable.

Quiche became popular in England after World War Two and got popular in the United States in the 1950s. Quiche in the United States tends to be a little heartier than its French relatives. French quiche is delicate and custardy with barely any fillings, while American quiche is more eggy with more fillings than egg custard.

These days, there are hundreds of types of quiche with both vegetarian ingredients and meat. Quiche can be found in cafes and restaurants all over the country and the world.
