Homemade Quiche

I think they turned out more like tartlette, a savoury one....oh well, whatever! My mom used to say homemade means not perfect. I think for once, I choose to agree with her.

 

Simple ingredients and simple indulgence.  Enough said!

Here's the recipe ( From RTHK website)

For the crust :

100g plain flour
50g butter (cold and cubed)
1 egg
1/8 tsp salt
20g cold water

For the filling :

2 eggs
some bacon
70g heavy cream
some shredded cheddar cheese
salt and pepper to taste

Method :

• Sieve the flour and salt
• Add in butter and rub in till it resembles bread crumbs
• Add in egg and water (might need to gauge depending on the brand of flour)
• Mix everything until a dough is formed
• Wrap with cling wrap and place in the fridge for about 30 minutes
• Meanwhile, prepare the filling. Fry bacon till fragrant. Beat eggs and add in cream,salt and pepper. Sieve the mixture. Set aside
• Roll out dough and cut to the size of the tart mould. Gently place dough over the mould and shape the dough neatly to the sides. Use a fork to poke holes at the bottom.
• Blind bake at 200 degrees celcius for about 15 mins.
• Remove from oven. Place bacon and shredded cheese on top and pour the egg mixture to fill the whole tart. Reduce oven heat to 180-190 degrees celcius.
• Place them back into the oven and continue to bake till egg is set.
