- 2-3 Tbsp ice cold water
filling
- 4 large free-range eggs
- 1 T Sasko Self Raising Flour
- 250 g creme fraiche / sour cream
- 3/4 180mlcup mature Cheddar

Instructions
To make the pastry base:
- Add the flour and butter to a food processor and briefly blitz until it's a fine crumb. Pour the ice water through the spout and briefly mix to form a dough.
- Tip this onto a floured surface and knead gently. Cover in cling film and refrigerate for 30 mins to an hour.
- Pre-heat the oven to 180C / 350 F
- Roll the pastry out to about 4mm thick and lay this over a loose-bottomed tart tin (28cm - 30cm in diameter).
- Prick the surface of the pastry with a fork in multiple places, cover it with baking paper and fill it with baking beans, dried beans, or rice. Bake blind in the preheated oven for 15 minutes.
- Remove from the oven, take out the baking paper and beans, and put the pastry case back in the oven for a further 10 minutes.
Cup of Yum
To make the filling
- While the pastry is baking blind, make the filling.
- Fry the bacon in a non-stick frying pan until crispy. Drain on paper and set aside.
- Slice the zucchini into ribbons using only the fleshier inner parts.
- Beat the eggs and flour together until well combined. Add all the other ingredients and mix.
- Place the hot pastry tart in the case on a baking tray and pour in the filling. Top with the bacon and zucchini arranging things evenly over the top.
- Return the quiche to the oven and bake for 30 - 35 minutes until it has set and browned around the edge.
Notes
- Store leftover quiche in the fridge for up to 5 days.
