A Quiche Alsacienne
is actually a Quiche Lorraine with onions. The first version of Quiche
Lorraine, originating in the French Lorraine region, was filled with
just egg-and-cream-custard and bacon. A similar dish was already prepared
in the 16th century, but in those days the basis was probably bread
dough.
