quiche
Savory custard tart
Quiche is a savory French tart consisting of a pastry crust filled with a custard of eggs and cream, typically combined with cheese, meat, or vegetables.
The most famous variety is quiche Lorraine, made with bacon or lardons.
Once considered fancy or pretentious in American culture, quiche became so ubiquitous that the 1982 humor book *Real Men Don't Eat Quiche* mocked it as insufficiently masculine.
We're having spinach quiche for brunch.
