Published on by Tracy @ It's a T-Sweets Day!17 Comments

It’s that yum, yum, yummy time of the month again.  It’s  Fantastic Bake Along Time:)   Yea!!  This month’s star baker is Emma over @ Emma Crafts Design.  

This month’s recipe is Emma’s delicious quiche.  She says it is her husband’s favorite.  Doesn’t it look so delicious?  I can’t wait to give it a try!

Emma’s picture of the quiche looks so yummy!

Here is the recipe:

Preheat your oven to 180°C (356°F).

You will need for the pastry:

  • 75 g butter (you can also use margarine)
  • 150 g plain flour
  • 50 g water (50 mL)
  • salt for seasoning

For those of us using cup measurements, you can convert measurements on Google or a close approximate conversion is– 50ml = 1/4c

Mix all your ingredients together until well combined. Roll your pastry out and place in a quiche tin (I roll my pastry on a sheet of baking paper and use it to line the tin, it makes it easier to clean!). Trim your pastry and pick the bottom of the pastry with a fork to prevent it from raising once in the oven.

You will need for the filling:
150-200 g of bacon bits

  • 4 eggs
  • 100 g of thickened cream
  • 50 g of milk (50 mL)
  • block cheese (you can use gruyere or Swiss cheese too)
  • salt and pepper for seasoning

Cook your bacon bits in a pan for 3-5 minutes, then lay them evenly on your pastry. In a bowl, whisk the eggs, cream and milk together, adding salt and pepper to taste. Pour the mixture over the bacon bits, straight on top of your pastry. Grate about 50 g of your block cheese on top of your quiche.

Bake for 30-35 minutes or until the cheese is golden brown.
