Quiche (basic)

Quiche by @recipesformax

Quiche is easy to make and it is nice warm or cold. You can add any fillings you fancy – tomatoes, spinach, broccoli, green beans etc…

info

You need

  • 20/25cm Non-Stick Fluted Quiche Tin

ingr Ingredients

  • One short-crust sheet (I imagine you won’t have time for making your own so use one of those);
  • 4 eggs;
  • 300ml pot of double cream;
  • Any filling you fancy (my favourites are tomatoes and broccoli);
  • Grated cheese to top your quiche (Gruyère or Parmesan are nice but you can easily use a cheaper cheese like cheddar);

methodStep by step

  • Preheat the oven to 190C.
  • Spread out the pastry on a lightly floured surface of the quiche tin.
  • Bake the pastry for around 10 mins.
  • Beat the eggs and cream together with a fork or in with a food processor (you can add nutmeg and plenty of seasoning). Carefully pour the mixture into the baked pastry then scatter over the filling.
  • Put some grated cheese on top of your quiche.
  • Bake for about 20 minutes until the filling is set, starting to turn golden and slightly puffed up. Allow to cool a little before removing from the tin.
  • Serve warm or at room temperature, with a green salad.
