Ingredients
3 tbls Butter
1 Onion finely chopped
1/2 cup Bacon chopped
2 cups Mushroom sliced
4 Eggs
1/2 cup Cream
3/4 cup Milk
1/2 cup Cheddar Cheese grated
Salt & Pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
- Melt half the 3 tablespoons butter in a pan, add 1 finely chopped onion and fry gently until soft, then add 1/2 cup chopped bacon and fry until done. Remove from the pan and set aside.
- Melt the remaining butter, add 2 cups sliced mushrooms and cook – stirring occasionally – until the mushrooms are done and no liquid remains in the pan.
- Grease a 22 cm ovenproof pie dish. Scatter the onion, bacon, mushroom and parsley over the base.
- Beat together 4 eggs, 1/2 cup cream, 3/4 cup milk, salt and pepper. Pour over the filling.
- Scatter 1/2 cup grated cheddar cheese over the top.
- Bake for about 40 minutes or until the quiche is set and golden.
Hints & Tips
- Use streaky bacon – It crisps up beautifully and adds extra flavour.
- Drain mushrooms well – Ensure there’s no liquid left in the pan to avoid a soggy quiche.
- Serve warm or cold – This quiche tastes great both fresh from the oven and chilled the next day.
