Instructions
- To make the pastry, cut the butter into cubes, sift the flour into a large bowl, and use your fingertips to rub the flour and butter together until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs.
- Add the water and knead gently into a dough.
- Cover the dough with clingfilm, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
- When the pastry is chilled, use a rolling pin to roll it, arrange it over a quiche/flan tin, and use a fork to prick it in a few places.
- Cover the tin with non-stick paper, and fill it with dry pulses or baking beans.
- Bake in the preheated oven at 220 degrees Celsius (430 Fahrenheit) for 10 minutes, then remove the paper and dry pulses, and bake again for a further 10 minutes until golden.
- To make the filling, peel and chop the onion.
- Heat up the oil on a low heat, add the onion with a pinch of salt, and fry until golden.
- Add the onion to the pastry, scattering it well over the bottom of the pasty.
- Add the cooked bacon chopped into pieces and the grated cheese.
- In a jug, beat the eggs, add the cream, and mix well.
- Pour the mixture over the pastry.
- Decrease the oven temperature to 180 degrees Celsius (350 Fahrenheit).
- Bake for 25 minutes until the quiche is golden and set.
