🍳 Preparation Steps
  1. 1

    Line a 26 cm tart tin with the shortcrust pastry. Prick the base with a fork.

  2. 2

    Preheat the oven to 180°C (conventional heat).

  3. 3

    Prepare the ham (dice it) or cook the bacon bits dry for 3-4 min, then drain.

  4. 4

    In a bowl, crack the eggs and whisk vigorously until homogeneous.

  5. 5

    Add the heavy cream while whisking. Season with salt and pepper.

  6. 6

    Incorporate the grated cheese and ham (or bacon) into the mixture. Mix.

  7. 7

    Pour the mixture onto the pastry. Smooth the surface.

  8. 8

    Bake in the middle of the oven for 40 min, until the quiche is golden. If needed, cover with foil for the last 10 minutes.

  9. 9

    Let rest for 5 min before serving. Sprinkle with fresh parsley.

Tips & Tricks
  • For an even crispier crust, brush it with egg white before adding the filling.
  • Serve the quiche warm with a green salad and lemon vinaigrette for a balanced meal.
  • Variations: replace ham with smoked salmon, grilled vegetables, or use goat cheese.
  • The quiche keeps for 2-3 days in the refrigerator and reheats well in the oven.
Enjoy your meal!
