Guess who likes Quiche? But cant bear the connotation.

Charley, ignore the haters and the baiters - your quiche looks lovely

Let's take a few ingredients.

Chop up a couple of onions, some streaky bacon, knob of butter, freshly cracked black pepper and saute in a frying pan until they become translucent.





300 gm plain flour.
65 gm butter.
65 gm lard.
Half a tsp Himalayan pink salt crystals.

Sieve flour into large mixing bowl and add butter, lard and Himalayan pink salt crystals.
Rub with fingers to form bread crumby type consistency.
Slowly add cold water and mix with a flat knife.





It should end up looking a bit like this.




Now place in clingfilm and off into the fridge to rest for 30 minutes.
I like to check out TD whilst I'm waiting, you could read a book or go for a walk.

I like to check out my gallery now and again.




Find a suitable receptacle for your quiche and don't forget to take off the handle!




Roll out your cooled pastry on a suitable floured work surface.
Place into receptacle.






Now, we're going to blind bake this little fooker.
I used dried peas, you could use nuts and bolts if you like.






Into the oven (pre-heated to about 200 c) and bake for 10-15 minutes.


Raddle up half a dozen eggs with milk and a bit of black pepper.
Grate the cheese. This is Hurdy Gurdy land's finest cheddar!







Now lets start layering..First the sauteed onions and bacon (I added some dried herbs)




Then the cheese and tomatoes...





Finally, the raddled eggs and milk.




Off into the oven until it looks like this!


You little fookin' beauty, you...

Great looking quich Charly, was going to green yu until I seen your computer screen, now I know where you got your Lard from

i bet you were wondering why your pals were going out
to get some fresh air an hour after you ate that.

What has baffled me is, you being the pie maker extraordinaire, why you don't have a proper quiche tin with a wobbly bottom? You made that in what to me is a frying pan.

Interesting pic you have in there.....


I'm not a big quiche fan...and definitely not a fan of onions. I do like how you laid it out though.

Quiche is gay.

^Cut the milk and leave off the crust. Cook in on the stove top; the brown in the oven.

Then you have your manly self a non-gay fritatta.

Maybe fritatta sounds even more queer.

^ Naah, fritatta's not gay. Especially not with a nice salsa verde ...
