===Etymology=== The word is first attested in [[French language|French]] in 1805, and in 1605 in [[Lorrain language|Lorrain patois]]. The first English usage β "quiche lorraine" β was recorded in 1925. The further etymology is uncertain, but it may be related to the German ''{{lang|de|Kuchen}}'' meaning "cake" or "tart".<ref>{{cite encyclopedia |url=https://www.oed.com/search?searchType=dictionary&q=quiche&_searchBtn=Search |title=quiche |encyclopedia=Oxford English Dictionary |publisher=OUP |date=2015 |accessdate=4 February 2016 |url-access=subscription}}<br>- {{lang|fr|[http://www.cnrtl.fr/lexicographie/quiche "Quiche"], Centre Nationale de Ressources Textuelles et Lexicales.}} Accessed 12 February 2015.
