Ingredients for Amazing Quiche

  • 150g bacon

How to Make Amazing Quiche

  1. Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F).
  2. Cook 150g bacon until crispy. Remove from heat, let cool slightly, then chop into small pieces.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together 50g butter (softened), 50g all-purpose flour, and 4 large eggs until smooth and thick. Do not overmix.
  4. Gradually whisk in 400ml milk, 1 medium onion (finely chopped), 1 tsp salt, and ½ tsp black pepper.
  5. Stir in the cooked bacon.
  6. Grease a 25cm pie dish. Pour the egg mixture into the prepared dish.
  7. Sprinkle 100g grated cheddar cheese (or your preferred cheese) over the top.
  8. Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the quiche is puffed, golden brown, and set in the center.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
