Ingredients
For the quiche:
- 20g butter
- 1 brown onion, finely chopped
- 4 bacon rashers, excess fat trimmed, finely chopped
- 4 free range eggs, lightly whisked
- 3/4 cup (185ml) thickened cream
- 1/3 cup (80ml) milk
- 1/2 cup (60g) finely grated gruyere
For the pastry:
- 1 1/2 cups (225g) plain flour
- 125g butter, chopped
- 2 Australian free range egg yolks
- 2 teaspoons chilled water
Method
- To make shortcrust pastry, place flour and butter in a food processor. Process until fine crumbs form. Add egg yolks and water. Process until dough just comes together.
- Turn onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead until smooth. Shape into a disc. Wrap in plastic wrap. Place in fridge for 30 mins to rest.
- Preheat oven to 200C. Roll out the pastry on a lightly floured surface to a 3mm-thick disc. Line a 23cm fluted tart tin, with removable base, with the pastry. Use a sharp knife to trim excess. Place in fridge for 15 mins to rest.
- Line pastry with baking paper and fill with pastry weights or rice. Place on a baking tray. Bake for 10 mins. Remove paper and weights or rice. Bake for 8-10 mins or until light golden. Remove from oven. Reduce oven to 160C.
- Meanwhile, melt butter in a medium frying pan over low heat. Cook onion, stirring, for 8-10 mins or until onion is very soft and translucent. Set aside to cool slightly.
- Whisk the egg, cream and milk in a jug. Season. Arrange the onion mixture and gruyère over the pastry case. Pour over the egg mixture. Bake for 25-30 mins or until just set.
