quiches

Savory custard tarts

Quiches are savory custard tarts baked in pastry shells, typically filled with eggs, cream, cheese, and various ingredients like bacon, vegetables, or seafood.

Quiche Lorraine, with bacon and cheese, is the classic variety.

Once dismissed as effeminate food in American culture—real men don't eat quiche—quiches now appear routinely at brunches and cafés.
