The first time I had a quiche, it was a vegetable quiche ( I can not remember though what veggies were present in the quiche. All I know is that that quiche was really yummy) at a house of our family friends. From then on my husband would always buy the ready made quiche from the shop. To probably not make it a boring dish, he would buy different kinds of quiche.
A quiche is an open pastry type of dish similar to a pie. Well I think, I even told my husband that it's a pie but a different sort of pie. The word quiche is a French word borrowed from the German word Küeche which means cake. Usually the ingredients would be meat, veggies and cheese.
Ingredients:
1 1/3 cups all-purpose flour
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup cold butter, diced
3 tablespoons ice-cold water
Filling
1/2 c bacon, fried a little and cut into small pieces4 large eggs
1 1/2 milk
1/4 tsp thyme
1/8 tsp pepper
1 c cheese, grated
Toppings
1/3 c cheese1/4 c bacon
Procedure:
Mix flour and salt. Add butter using a pastry blender. Continue doing this until it resembles coarse crumbs. Add water (a little at a time). Knead a little and form a ball. Shape into a disk and wrap with a cling wrap and cool in the fridge for 30 minutes.
Using a rolling pin, roll out the dough in a floured surface. Shape into a circle and fit into a quiche or pie pan. Trim the edges and prick with fork. To prevent it from rising too much, line it with a foil and put a pie weight or anything that would hold it down. Bake for 10 minutes at 375 F
Filling
Whisk the all the filling ingredients. Pour on top of the baked quiche crust and top with additional bacon and cheese. Bake for 375 F for 30 minutes until it is set and light brown in color.
