La Varenne’s recipe was published in his cookbook Le Cuisinier François in 1651.

The most famous chef associated with Quiche Lorraine is Julia Child, who is credited with popularizing the dish in the United States. Julia Child’s Quiche Lorraine recipe was special because of her attention to detail. Child suggested using bacon in the recipe and adding nutmeg for flavor.

Finally, she suggested serving the quiche with a salad for a complete and balanced meal.
