 Method |
- Prepare the pastry. Place half the measured White Mix in a medium size mixing bowl with the remaining pastry ingredients. Combine to a smooth paste using a fork. Add remaining weighed White Mix and work together first using the fork and then by hand to bring together into a ball.
- Place on a work surface lightly dusted with White Mix and knead for a full 2 minutes until completely smooth. Roll pastry out to the thickness of a £1 coin adding more White Mix if necessary to prevent it from sticking. Roll over the rolling pin and transfer to a loose base flan tin. Gently push pastry into place and roll pin across the top to remove excess pastry. Set aside whilst preparing the filling.
- Gently fry the prepared onion and bacon together with the oil for 5 minutes to soften without browning. Add the mixed herbs and spoon into the pastry case. Whisk cream with the eggs and pepper and pour over the filling. Sprinkle with the cheese.
- Place quiche onto a preheated baking sheet and cook until the pastry is golden and the filling is set.
- Serve warm or cold.
