What's the difference between quiche, flan, and pie?
As they're more or less the same thing, dont you think?
Answers:
Quiche is egg based and made in a pie shell/crust usually with vegetables(broccoli/spinach) and meat (bacon/sausage/kilbasa)and cheese (usually swiss)
Pie is usually fruit or something sweet made in a pie shell/crust
Flan is like custard with no shell at all. You could probably make a flan pie though, that would be interesting and probably taste better!!
As an item of food or when I cook them?
Quiche is maily eggs. Flan is more of a custard. And pie can vary by what is in it, and it has crust. So, what the hell are you talking about. They're absolutely nothing alike. Do you even have taste buds?!
No Theyre all completely different in soooooooo many ways!
Quiche and flan have pastry on the bottom, pie has pastry on top and bottom.
Quiche is for girls
Pie is for men
Flan is how Chelsea football players cry after getting touched by opposition players.
Quiche is an egg dish, flan in a souffle, and pies are usually sweet with fruit or nuts.
You can get a fruit flan and pie but not quiche,
P S pies have lids. unlike flans or tarts which are topless, so to speak.
quiche:
A rich unsweetened custard pie, often containing ingredients such as vegetables, cheese, or seafood.
Our quiches were always like a big egg omelet made in a pie pan.
crème car·a·mel:
A custard that is baked in a caramel-lined mold and served chilled with the caramel side up. Also called flan .
pie:
A baked food composed of a pastry shell filled with fruit, meat, cheese, or other ingredients, and usually covered with a pastry crust.
A layer cake having cream, custard, or jelly filling.
quiche is an open savoury flan , flan can be sweet or savoury , pie has a pastry crust
quice is French, pie is English and flan is my friend's nickname.
Flan - a case of pastry or cake without a top, which contains fruit or something savoury such as cheese or custard
Quiche - an open pastry case, filled with a mixture of eggs, cream and other savoury foods, which is baked and eaten hot or cold.
Pie - a type of food made with meat, vegetables or fruit covered in pastry and baked
a qiuche refers to the milk/egg mixture, IN the pie. Its a savoury custard, then flavoured, "lorraine" being a classic tomato, and bacon variety, but many more, ham, broccoli, etc etc.
A flan, is a quiche type pastry base, but can have any contents, even sweet, eg rhubarb flan.
A pie has a top, as well as a pastry base, made of pastry.
quiche = a flat piece of baked dough with a rim or outer edge and a filling which almost always contains egg, cheese and veggies of some sort, but usually with some cheese source of cheese content.
flan = a flat piece of spongy dough with a rim or outer edge usually filled with a sweet dessert filling and topped with cream.
pie - a piece of baked dough with an inner filling (so the dough generally covers it) and the filling generally comprises meat or vegetables or minced fruit, pie is an english concept, but tarts originated in france.
tart - derived from the french for a dough based sweet dessert (usually fruits) pretty much similar to a flan but the dough texture is shortcrust pastry instead of a sponge.
Okay, I was forced to comment.
Flan has no crust. And being a custard, it is mainly egg. The difference between it and quiche is that flan is a sweet, a desert. Quiche never is, usually containing savory ingredients such as mushrooms, spinach, bacon, cheese, etc. And quiche has a traditional pie crust.
Pie can have a custard filling, meaning it is filled mainly with something made from eggs, but it differs from flan and quiche in that it need not contain eggs. In fact, pie is the most flexible thing you are asking us to define. It doesn't even have to have a traditional pastry crust. It can have a crushed cookie crust, for example.
Pies have a single top crust or a double crust, they can be sweet or savoury, meat pie is my favourite. Flan can have a sponge or a pastry base, whereas a quiche is always pastry and usually have cheese in it. I think the word quiche is French or Swiss in origin, a flan is English.
quiche is a pie with a cheese mixture as filling, flan is a custard pie, andpie is usually any fruitpie
Quiche is an open savoury in a pastry case - flan is the same but sweet and usually glazed - a pie may be savoury or sweet but has a single crust on top. If it has pastry top and bottom it is a tart! Confusing, isn't it?
Quiche has cheese filling, flan has an egg or custard filling and a pie is what a woman has between her legs that gets a man filling
Not really the only thing they have in common is that they come in a pie crust. first quiche is made with meat and vegetables. and another they are all from a different origin. flan is a spanish/portugese dessert and pie is all american. plus pie has fruit and stuff. flan is just custard.
A Quiche is generally a topless savoury filled pastry base with the ingredients suspended in a baked egg solution.
A Flan is generally a hollow sponge dish filled with sweet ingredients, usually with a fruit basis such as a fruit and jelly solution or a fruit fool.
A Pie is a pastry item which should have a "lid" and can contain savoury or sweet ingredients, (Pork Pies, Mince Pies etc), if it does not have a lid it is a "Tart" (Such as Jam Tart).
Not the same at all!
quiche is French and therefore upmarket.
Flan is usualy sweet, fruity etc
pie is 3.142
Real men don't eat Quiche !!
