Kuche is a predecessor of Quiche. This recipe comes from Germans who lived in Elsass-Lotharingen/ Alsace-Lorraine. Now a part from France, but it has been German from 1871 till 1919 and later during the second world war. The germans invented a KUCHE, but the french could not pronounce this word so they gave the name for this splendid dish QUICHE.
