Rocket and Bacon Quiche
Easy to make bacon and rocket quiche with buttery shortcrust pastry.
Equipment
Ingredients
Pastry
- 400 g Plain White Flour
- 100 g Wholemeal Flour
- 250 g Butter
- 7 tbsp Water
- ½ tsp Ground Black Pepper
- 1 tsp Dry Veggie Stock Cube (optional)
Quiche Filling
- 8 Eggs
- 100 ml Milk
- 100 ml Plain Greek Yoghurt
- 250 g Cheese (Cheddar)
- Mixed Herbs (optional)
- Salt and Pepper
- Paprika
- 25 g Rocket (Finely chopped)
- 2 Rashers of Smoked Bacon (Roughly chopped)
Instructions
- Pre-heat oven to 180° c Fan/200°c/ 392°F.
- For the pastry, add butter to the flour and rub in until it resembles breadcrumbs. Add the pepper and stock powder and slowly add in the water until it forms a dough. I prefer to use my electric mixer as there's less mess.
- Roll out to about 5mm thick and carefully place in greased quiche dish. Mine is a large dish, so if you have small dishes it will make 2, but you may need extra filling ingredients.
- Prick the pastry all over with a fork and blind bake for 10 - 15 mins in the oven until dry and slightly golden.
- Mix the eggs with the milk and yoghurt in a bowl. Mix in the rocket, salt and pepper then add to the pastry case.
- Top with the chopped bacon, grated cheese, paprika and mixed herbs if using.
- Bake in the oven for about 35 - 40 mins, depending on the size of your dish. Serve your lovely quiche hot or cold.
