Equipment
- 1 8 inch baking ing tin
Ingredients
- 300 g Shortcrust Pastry See my note below
- 100 g cheese grated , I prefer Cheddar but Gruyère is good too
- 3 large eggs see my size chart below
- 1 onion finely chopped
- 150 g cream double
- 100 g butter
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
DISCLAIMER
I recommend using the Metric measurements (instead of cups & spoons) for more accuracy and better results.
Instructions
- Before you start preheat your oven to 200°C.
- Peel the onion and chop it finely.
- Now melt the butter in a saucepan and fry the onion gently for two to three minutes, until softened. If you add a small sprinkle of salt this will prevent the onion from browning.
- Break the eggs into a mixing bowl lightly whisk, then add the grated cheese, cream and cooked onion.
- Mix until fully incorporated and season with salt and pepper, go easy on the salt as the cheese is usually salty.
- Now line your baking tin with the shortcrust pastry and top with a thick layer of the cheese and onion filling.
- Bake in the oven for 30 minutes, until golden-brown and crispy on top. Serve hot.It may take longer to bake depending on the depth of your filling, give it a little shake to make sure it's set.

Delicious cheese and onion quiche. My children loved this. Served it with potato wedges and a lovely salad seasoned with salt & pepper, lemon and olive oil.
Yum!
