This savory, baked French delicacy consists of a thin flaky pastry crust topped with a delicious cheese mixture. The traditional open tart usually makes use of classic cheese varieties such as Gruyère, Camembert, or Roquefort, which are blended into a luscious custard of eggs and milk or crème fraîche.
The creamy filling is often adorned with a variety of fresh herbs or a sprinkling of freshly-grated nutmeg. The baked quiche is a delightful combination of crispy crust, a velvety center, and a perfectly browned top. Quiche au fromage is a staple dish found at French markets or on the menus of traditional French restaurants.
