National Quiche Lorraine Day

National Quiche Lorraine Day is a holiday that’s observed every May 20th and celebrates a French dish that uses bacon, swiss, gruyere, and heavy cream to make a delicious savory tart that can be enjoyed night or day.

This dish was invented around the time when the Lorraine Region was under German rule, and that’s why it’s different from a regular quiche that uses different types of meat and cheese in its recipe.
