Making Quiche Lorraine For the First Time (芝士煙肉批)


Some mild cheddar cheese, chopped bacon, brown onion and whipping cream & egg mixture (2 eggs in there)


I used this recipe from RTHK Dessert and Baking DIY.
I made the pie crust myself. It doesn't look very pretty. :p


Baking! :D I can't wait! lol So excited! hahaha


It doesn't look too bad I think! :D


Okay.. I was hungry and had a quarter of it. :)


hahahaha I had half of it in the end. lol I thought it was better to have it when it was still hot! :P Right?

History

Although quiche is now a classic dish of French cuisine, quiche actually originated in Germany, in the medieval kingdom of Lothringen, under German rule, and which the French later renamed Lorraine. The word ‘quiche’ is from the German ‘Kuchen’, meaning cake.[1] The Lorraine Franconian dialect of the German language historically spoken in much of the region, where German Kuchen, "cake", was altered first to "küche". Typical Alemannic changes unrounded the ü and shifted the palatal "ch" to the spirant "sh", resulting in "kische", which in standard French orthography became spelled "quiche."[2] From wiki :)
