Quiche Lorraine with lightly salted salmon is an exquisite representative of French cuisine, combining the delicate texture of creamy pastry and the rich flavor of sea fish. Historically, quiche originated in the Lorraine region and was considered a rustic dish but has evolved into a gastronomic symbol of France over time. Its crispy crust soaked in a creamy filling with aromatic nutmeg perfectly complements the salty notes of salmon and gooey cheese. This dish is versatile: it can be served warm or cold, and fresh salad leaves add lightness and freshness to it. Quiche Lorraine is an ideal choice for a cozy dinner or stylish buffet that can delight even the most discerning gourmets.
