Where in France was quiche created?

While the exact origin of quiche is debated, it's generally believed to have originated in Lorraine, France.

Here's why:

* The name: Quiche comes from the Lorraine word "quiche" or "kiche", meaning "pie" or "tart".

* Traditional ingredients: The classic Lorraine quiche features lardons (diced bacon), eggs, cream, and Gruyère cheese, all ingredients common to the region.

* Historical evidence: The earliest recorded mention of a "quiche" dish dates back to the 16th century in Lorraine.

However, some argue that the quiche's roots may lie in earlier versions of savory pies found in other parts of France. Nonetheless, Lorraine is widely recognized as the birthplace of the modern quiche we know today.
