Easy Cheese & Bacon Quiche Recipe!

I decided to have a little bit of a baking day today as the weather was a little gloomy, and what better way to make yourself feel better than with a kitchen full of comfort food! Not only am I making a quiche today but I’m also making lemon shortbread along with a nice beef stew (recipe coming shortly!)

I thought I would share with you my cheese and bacon quiche recipe as it is one of my favourite things my mum ever taught me to bake and if there is one thing I like now that I have moved out, it’s the fact I don’t have to share my favourite quiche with anyone! MWHAHAHAHA

This recipe tends to serve 2-4 people depending on the slice size…or if you are like me for one person to be eaten over a course of 3-4 days! By the way it keeps in the fridge really well for 4-5 days! (if it lasts that long!) 

Things you will need:

-          4 eggs

-          250ml of semi skimmed milk

-          50g of grated cheddar cheese (one big handful)

-          Salt, pepper and mixed herbs

-          Worchester sauce

-          2 rashers of bacon cut into little squares

-          1 onion finely chopped

-          Half a red pepper chopped up finely

-          1 Dish lined with short crust pastry

Step 1: Preheat your oven to 150 degrees Celsius.

Step 2: Begin by frying off your bacon, onion and red pepper in a frying pan until the onions have become transparent and the bacon is cooked through, leave to one side to cool down completely before use.

Step 3: In a large jug or bowl, crack in all 4 eggs and whisk thoroughly, then add in all of the milk, whisk again, then to your wet mixture add a teaspoon of pepper, half a teaspoon of salt, a teaspoon of mixed herbs and a dash of Worchester sauce, whisk again before adding in all of the cheese and setting to one side.

Step 4: Grab your pre prepared short crust pastry lined dish (you can use my recipe found here!) and tip in your now completely cool mixture of onion, bacon and red pepper, use a fork or spoon to distribute the filling better.

Step 5: Slowly pour in your wet mixture of eggs, cheese and milk into the case, make sure the cheese is evenly spread around, and sprinkle the top with any leftover cheese.

Step 6: Put into the middle of your oven for approximately 30-45 minutes or until the top is a golden brown colour, you will see that the filling will rise up a little, when taken out of the oven it will sink, don’t worry it is meant to do this! 

Leave your quiche to cool for 10-15 minutes before serving or if you are like me, wait for it to cool completely and serve with an extra dash of Worchester sauce! I find that once the quiche has cooled completely that the flavour is a lot better in my opinion!

And there we go! One easy cheese and bacon quiche packed full of flavour!
