Make your Quiche using the ingredients below and following the step-by-step preparation method.

Ingredients

  • 1 puff pastry or shortcrust pastry (ready-made or homemade)

  • 200g diced bacon (or other type of meat, such as ham, shredded chicken, etc.)

  • 1 medium chopped onion

  • 1 cup shredded cheese (you can use cheddar cheese, swiss cheese, cheese, etc.)

  • 4 eggs

  • 1 cup heavy cream (or substitute whole milk)

  • Salt and pepper to taste

  • Nutmeg (optional)

  • Chopped fresh herbs (optional, such as parsley, chives, basil)

Directions

  • Preheat the oven to 180°C.
  • In a large skillet, fry the diced bacon until golden and crispy. 
    If you prefer, you can use another meat of your choice. 
    Remove the bacon from the skillet and set aside.
  • In the same skillet, sauté the chopped onion until soft and lightly golden. 
    Remove from heat and set aside.
  • In a large bowl, beat the eggs with the cream (or milk) until you get a homogeneous mixture.
  • Season with salt, pepper and nutmeg to taste. 
    Add chopped fresh herbs, if desired.
  • Line a quiche mold with puff pastry or shortcrust pastry, pressing the edges well and making a few holes in the bottom with a fork to prevent the dough from rising too much during baking.
  • Spread the fried bacon and sauteed onion over the dough.
  • Pour the egg and cream mixture over the filling in the mold.
  • Sprinkle grated cheese on top.
  • Place in the preheated oven and bake for about 30 to 35 minutes, or until the quiche is golden brown and set in the center.
  • Remove from oven and let cool slightly before serving. 
    The quiche can be served hot, warm or at room temperature.
