Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams plain flour
- 100 grams cold unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons cold water
- 4 large eggs
- 200 milliliters heavy cream
- 100 milliliters whole milk
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 0.125 teaspoons nutmeg
- 150 grams grated Gruyère cheese
- 100 grams cooked bacon, chopped
- 100 grams chopped spinach
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F).
To make the pastry crust, add the flour and cold butter into a food processor and pulse until the mixture resembles coarse breadcrumbs.
Gradually add 2 tablespoons of cold water while pulsing until the dough starts to come together. If necessary, add a little more water, one teaspoon at a time.
Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface, gather into a ball, flatten into a disk, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes.
After chilling, roll the dough out on a floured surface to fit a 9-inch tart pan. Drape the dough over the pan, pressing into the base and sides. Trim any overhanging pastry and prick the base with a fork.
Line the pastry with baking paper and fill with pie weights or dried beans. Bake for 15 minutes, remove paper and weights, and bake for another 5 minutes until lightly golden. Allow to cool slightly.
In a bowl, whisk together eggs, heavy cream, milk, salt, pepper, and nutmeg until well combined.
Sprinkle the grated Gruyère cheese evenly over the cooled pastry base, followed by the chopped bacon and spinach.
Carefully pour the egg mixture over the fillings, ensuring everything is evenly distributed.
Reduce the oven temperature to 180°C (350°F) and bake for 35-40 minutes or until the filling is set and lightly golden on top.
Allow the quiche to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before removing from the pan and slicing into wedges.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy your delicious quiche slice!
