Instructions

1. Knead a shortcrust pastry from flour, butter, salt, water and 1 egg and place it in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes, wrapped in foil.
2. Whisk the remaining 3 eggs with the cream, pepper and grated cheese.
3. Roll out the dough in a greased quiche or springform pan, forming an approx. 3-4 cm high edge all around (I always put a piece of cling film on the dough to roll it out, then it`s easier). Spread the bacon on the dough and pour the egg mixture over it.
4. Cook in a preheated oven at 200 ° C for approx. 30 minutes. If the quiche gets too dark while baking, simply cover with aluminum foil.
5. We also like to eat a green salad, e.g. Maja`s lamb`s lettuce with balsamic dressing
6. We also like to make the following variants: Instead of the bacon cubes, e.g. make a spinach and salmon quiche. Then use 400 g spinach and 250 g diced salmon fillet for the topping and a little salt for the egg-cream mixture.
7. For a vegetarian quiche with tomatoes and sheep cheese you can use 3 diced tomatoes and 200 g diced sheep cheese as well as garlic and Mediterranean herbs.
8. Or you can top the quiche with diced boiled ham and broccoli and use a little salt for the egg-cream mixture.
9. We have often made these different variations for our guests and so there was always something for everyone.
