4. Quiche<br />
Native to France, the quiche is a<br />
savoury, open tart combining eggs,<br />
cheese, milk or cream, and sometimes<br />
meat, seafood or vegetables to form a<br />
custard-like filling cooked in a savoury<br />
pastry crust. A usual suspect at lunch,<br />
quiche is commonly served warm with<br />
a simple salad. Popular fillings include<br />
bacon, Gruyère cheese, ham, spinach,<br />
leek, goat’s cheese and mushrooms.<br />
Can be served hot or cold.<br />
