Quiche ( ) is a French tart consisting of a pastry crust filled with savory custard and pieces of cheese, meat, seafood or vegetables. A well-known variant is Quiche Lorraine, which includes lardons or bacon. Quiche may be served hot, warm or cold.
==Overview== ===Etymology=== The word is first attested in Lorrain in 1605, then in French in 1805; the first English usage — "quiche lorraine" — was recorded in 1925. The further etymology is uncertain, but it may be related to the German '' meaning "cake" or "tart".
