MID WEEK MEAL :: QUICHE

Sundays are meant to be days of leisure and taking time to rest and revive for the busy week ahead. Most Sundays I like to take it easy and cook something nutritious but not too involved. One of our favourites is quiche. 

Basic Quiche

I sheet puff pastry

1 tablespoon olive oil

I brown onion, sliced

200g Bacon, rind removed and thinly sliced

3 eggs

1/3 cup cream

1/4 cup milk

1/2 cup tasty cheese, grated

sea salt and cracked black pepper

Pre heat oven 180 degrees. 

1. Line the loose bottomed tray with non-stick baking paper. 

2. Place pastry into the tray and trim.

3. Heat oil in a large non stick frying pan.

4. Add the onion and bacon and cook, stirring occasionally for 10 minutes. Remove from heat + set aside.

5. Place the eggs, cream, milk, salt and pepper in a bowl and whisk to combine. 

6. Spoon onion mixture and vegetables into the tart shell add cheese. 

7. Pour the egg mix over the filling.

8. Bake for 25 - 30 minutes or until set and golden.

NOTE - With the quiche I tend to add what is around at the time in the form of vegetables which most likely consists of broccoli, peas and corn.  To keep it easy I just use puff pastry as the base.
