Quiche is a delicious preparation originating from the Lorraine region in France, which has become popular in various countries around the world. Its name comes from the German word "kuchen," meaning cake, and it is characterized by a pastry base filled with a mixture of egg, cream, and other ingredients. In Latin America, this dish is simply known as quiche, although in some places it may be found with variations in the ingredients according to local customs. For example, in Mexico and Argentina, it is common to find quiches with ingredients such as ham, cheese, vegetables, and sometimes a touch of spice or local spices is added.
This dish is appreciated for both lunches and light dinners, and its versatility allows it to be served either cold or hot. The creamy ham and cheese quiche is a very popular version due to its mild and comforting flavor, ideal for sharing at family gatherings or casual events.
