Why is this recipe great? What’s its backstory? 

My husband Gérard loves anything with onions and kept after me to make him this quiche from Alsace Region in France. We both liked the result and now make it often. Few ingredients and fast to make. Peeling and slicing the onions bring tears to my eyes!
