It probably was a matter of at one time someone in the Lorraine made a
dish and had only the eggs and lardon or bacon. Then they tried it with
cheese and we ended up withe new quiche and no public uproar demanding a
return to quiche classic. Quiche was a regional dish in
Alsace-Lorraine, a region on the French-German border that has changed
hands a few times and there is a definite German touch to their cuisine.
Every meal we had there was wonderful.
