Bacon & Ceddar Quiche (Souttert)

This is one of my favourite dinner dishes, this could be served at a lunch party or for a nice quick Saturday lunch, served with a green salad.  If it's cooked well then i promise it will just fly of the plates of your guests..and everyone will love it.  What's nice about this recipe is that you can add what ever you like and make it your own.  This is also a fun meal to cook because it's so quick and easy...Hope you like.




So here we go:

What do you need:

1 pkt Bacon

1 can Corned Meat (Bully Beef as we call it)

1 onion

4 eggs

2 1/2 cups milk

2 cups cheese

1 tsp mustard powder
4 tbsp self raising flower
herbs + Salt & pepper


Pre-heat your oven on 180ºC

1.  I start a bit different than what you would normal start, I like it when my ingredients are cooked first, otherwise they produce water and that could mean that your quiche at the end is all soggy...and we don't want that.  So start by chopping up some onion (don't know how - go and check out the help clip), then saute (meaning fry in oil) the onion until it is golden brown, as you can see in the pictures below:

 

  

2.  Then add your bacon, cut it up in small pieces (I usually snip it up with a scissor), and let it fry with the onions, also until it has a nice brown cooked colour.

3.  You don't have to but I love adding some Smoked Vienna's, it make the quiche a bit more wholesome and so you can stretch it for more people....don't add Red Vienna's as they will give off the red colour and that will not look very presentable.  I also just cut them up and brown them a bit with the bacon and the onion.

 

4.  After browning add your corned meat to the mix.

5.  Now for everything else holding "everything" together.  Start by mixing the self raising flour and mustard powder with 1/2 cup of milk.  Then add the milk slowly.

6.  Mix the eggs and add it to the milk mixture...then mix well.

  

7.  Now add all your other ingredients and don't forget about your cheese and spices....I love a bit of extra ground pepper and some herbs, but you can add what ever you want to flavour it the way you like..  And then you mix it well...

8.  Some people like it in round bowls, but it doesn't matter where you pour it into, just remember to "Spray & Cook" it or butter it, so that it doesn't stick to the bowl, i do suggest using a glass bowl.  After you've mix it all well then you can pour it into the bowl and place it into the oven.

9.  And after about 30 minutes your quiche should be done, you can sprinkle some cheese over it before you place it into the oven.  Just always test the middle before you take it out, it should not be running.  If it is leave it in for a little longer but lower your heat so that it doesn't burn.  Also remember that when it cools down it also "sets" a bit.

Serve with some salad or maybe a garlic bread and there you go all done.

Let the taste transport you.
