My Quiche Recipe
Several friends have asked for my recipe for making a simple quiche. There are many out there, but that is usually not what people want: they actually want to see "your" recipe ;)
So here it is!
Things you'll need:
* Freshly made, or ready made dough
* 7 to 9 eggs (depending on size)
* Crème fraiche
* Dash of milk (optional)
* Cooking bacon
* Mushrooms (optional)
* Cheese to grate (e.g. cheddar or emmental)
* Pepper (optional)
Preparation steps:
In this instance, I used short crust dough, but you can also use puffy dough!
You can use either the pre-rolled, or the one you need to spread out yourself, or you can also make it from scratch (which I am too lazy to do ;)!
If needed, spread it out to fit your pie dish...
Place the dough in a pie dish that can go in the oven. Remember to "fork" the dough, especially if using a puff dough!
Preparing the dough
Place dough in pie dish
Cut the bacon (not shown) and mushrooms into small pieces
Cut the bacon and the mushrooms, and cook them in a pan.
Drain the water and fat. Save for later use...
Pre-cook the bacon and mushrooms
Mix the eggs, crème fraiche, and some (rather more than less) of the grated cheese in a big bowl.
Once well mixed, pour onto the dough in the pie dish.
Add in the cooked bacon and mushrooms, spread evenly...
Eggs, crème fraiche, cheese, and optionally a little bit of milk
Pour mix on dough
Add bacon and mushrooms
Spread the ingredients evenly
Add some more cheese. More is better!
Cook the quiche at ~200ºC, or gas mark 7, for hmmm, well, until it looks good!
(Variable depending on the oven... Usually it takes 45 to 55 minutes for mine.)
Cook on mark 7 / 200ºC
Et voilà!
