Equipment

  • Rolling Pin
  • Quiche Tin
  • Frying Pan
  • Large Bowl
  • Whisk

Ingredients
  

  • Shortcrust Pastry 250 g
  • Large Onions 2
  • Mature Cheddar Cheese 150 g
  • Large Eggs 3
  • Double Cream 200 ML
  • Butter 25 g
  • Mustard Powder 1 Tsp
  • Salt 1 Pinch
  • Black Pepper 1 Pinch

Instructions
 

  • Roll out your pastry on a floured surface. Make it large enough to fit your quiche tin. Press it into the edges very gently.
  • Prick the base with a small metal fork. Place baking paper and ceramic beans inside. Bake it for fifteen minutes to stay crisp.
  • Melt your butter in a small frying pan. Add the sliced onions to the hot pan. Cook them until they are very soft and clear.
  • Crack your fresh eggs into a large bowl. Pour in the heavy double cream slowly. Whisk them together until the mixture is uniform.
  • Add the mustard powder to your egg liquid. Stir in half of your grated cheddar cheese. Add a pinch of salt and black pepper.
  • Spread the cooked onions over the baked pastry. Pour the egg and cheese mixture over them. Sprinkle the remaining cheese on the very top.
  • Place the tin into the preheated oven. Bake for twenty-five minutes until the top is golden. The center should have a slight wobble.

Notes

  • Always use cold butter for the flakiest pastry crust.
  • Grate your own cheese for a much smoother melt.
  • Blind bake the crust to avoid a soggy bottom.
  • Do not overcook the quiche to keep it creamy.
  • Let the quiche rest before you try to slice.
  • Slice the onions very thin for an even texture.
  • Add a pinch of nutmeg for a classic taste.
