Sunday, 20 May is National Quiche Lorraine Day

Believed to have originated in the rural Lorraine Region of France, Quiche Lorraine consisted of an open pie, made using a bottom crust with a filling of custard and smoked bacon.

A cast iron skillet was used to cook the original quiche and cheese was added to the recipe at a much later time.
