A Quiche Alsacienne is actually a Quiche Lorraine with onions. The first version
of Quiche Lorraine, originating in the French Lorraine region, was filled with
just egg-and-cream-custard and bacon. A similar dish was already prepared in the 16th
century, but in those days the basis was probably bread dough.

Peel and grate the potatoes and the carrots. Chop the onion and the ham; mix all
these ingredients together with the eggs, the flour and the cream. Heat some oil
in 2 large frying pans and put small heaps of the mixture in the hot oil (about 2 table
spoons). In the meantime, grate the cheese. Turn the pancakes around after 7 minutes,
and divide the cheese over the top of the pancakes. Fry for another 7 minutes. Decorate
with dill.
