Quiche Lorraine Recipe

 

Serves: 4

Ingredients

• 200g shortcrust pastry (bought or ready made)
• 6 rashes of bacon, chopped into small pieces
• 1 small onion, chopped
• 1 ½ cup single cream
• 4 large eggs
• 1/2 cup Swiss cheese, grated (you can also use mature cheddar instead)
• pinch of nutmeg
• pinch of salt and white pepper to taste

Preheat the oven to 180°C. Roll out pastry to a 20cm circle. Line base and sides of an 18cm loose bottom flan tin with pastry and prick the surface with a fork. Chill in a fridge for 30 minutes.

Cook bacon in a hot frying pan for about 7 mins (bacon will release its own fat, so no oil needed) then remove from pan and drain on paper towel. Use the same pan with the bacon fat to sauté chopped onion. Leave on a side to cool.

In a separate bowl combine all the remaining ingredients together then add bacon and onions. Pour the mixture into prepared tin. Bake for 35 mins or until centre is set.
