Cheese and Bacon Quiche

By Lexi Klaebe December 12, 2017

My go-to dinner for warm weather and the first thing I offer to bring along to any get together, quiche is always a delicious, buttery pastry hit with the family!

Ingredients

  • Plain Flour - 1 3/4 cups
  • Butter, cold, cubed - 150g
  • Egg, separated - 1
  • Iced Water - 1 teaspoon
  • Onion, diced - 1
  • Bacon, diced - 130g
  • Eggs - 3
  • Thickened Cream - 250ml
  • Cheese, grated - 1 cup, plus 1/3 cup extra
  • Ground Nutmeg - 1/2 teaspoon
  • salt and pepper
  • Thyme - 2 sprigs

Instructions

1. In a food processor, blitz together the flour and cold butter until the mixture resembles fine bread crumbs. Add the egg yolk (reserve the white for the filling) and iced water and blitz again until the dough just comes together.

2. Turn out onto a bench and knead together into a disc. Wrap in plastic and refrigerate for half an hour.

3. Preheat the oven to 200°C. Roll the dough between two sheets of baking paper until it's at a size to fit a pie dish.

4. Gently lower the pastry sheet into your pie or quiche dish and trim the edges. If the pastry rips a little, gently patch it up with the off cuts. Easy!

5. Prick the base with a fork and fill the case with rice to blind bake for 10 minutes. After 10 minutes, remove the rice and paper and turn the oven down to 180 degrees Celsius. Bake for another 10 minutes. Let cool while you prepare the filling.
