Quiche

Dough

  • 1 1/2 cups self raising flour
  • 1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 12 ounces (1 1/2 sticks) margarine-, cut in pieces and very cold
  • 3/4 cup water - very cold

Filling

  • 6 eggs
  • 3 cups milk
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 cup chopped spring onion
  • 1 cup bacon pieces
  • 4 cups cheese - grated
 

METHOD

Preheat oven to 350°F (185°C).

Sift together both flours and salt.

Rub cold margarine into sifted flours, either by hand or using a food processor. Gradually add sufficient water to make a very soft ball of dough. Turn out onto a floured board and knead gently into a ball, folding damp edges into the centre. Place in refrigerator whilst preparing filling.

To Fill

Whisk together eggs, milk, salt and pepper.

Divide pastry into two pieces. Roll out first piece and place it in a quiche pan with a removable base, trimming off edges neatly by rolling the rolling pin over top of tin and pulling off excess dough. Blind bake for 10 minutes. Put aside to cool a little.

Mix together spring onion and bacon. Stir to combine. Divide mixture between the two quiches shells. Sprinkle 3 cups of grated cheese, divided, on top of each shell. Pour egg/milk mixture over each quiche, then sprinkle with remaining 1 cup cheese.

Fillings can be varied by adding tomato, red pepper or other vegetable according to taste. You can also add fresh chopped herbs such as coriander, thyme or parsley as desired.

Bake in a preheated oven 350°F (185°C) for approximately 45 minutes when top should be lightly browned.

Serve hot or cold with a crisp tossed salad.

Makes two 10 or 12 inch quiches.
