Cooking Instructions for making Cheese and Onion Quiche
Heat your oven to 190 degrees
On a chopping board
Dice up your onion, celery and garlic.
Fry on medium heat until soft. Leave to one side to cool
Grease and parchment your Quiche tin.
Cut your shortcrust pastry to fit your Quiche tin and using a rolling pin to roll up your pastry, place it into your tin and tuck it in with your fingers. (this will be your base)
I don’t blind bake but if you would like too, this would be the point to do it!
In a bowl beat your 5 eggs, milk, seasonings and cheese until combined.
Spoon your cooled onion mixture into your quiche tin and spread it out so it covers the bottom of the pastry.
Pour in your egg mixture
Chop up some fresh basil and sprinkle on the top (optional)
Bake for 40-45 minutes
Leave in the tin to cool slightly before removing.
(If you don’t like the dark colour on the top where the cheese has darkened you can always cover the quiche with foil for the last 10-
15 minutes)
Cut a slice and enjoy. ❤️
