Why Quiche Lorraine deserves more attention

Quiche Lorraine rarely gets the international recognition it deserves. The deeply layered complexity is genuine, not simple, and the technique involved in using thyme correctly takes real skill.

French cuisine is a UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage. I encountered it first in a Parisian bistro and that context helped me understand it properly. Burgundy red wine is the natural accompaniment and the combination makes the case for the dish. If you haven't explored this cuisine seriously, Quiche Lorraine is the dish to start with.
