Here is a quiche recipe that the kids will love! Cook it in a cup cake tray to have finger food for the whole family. Ideal for picnic and birthday party!
Ingredients
- 250 g shortcrust pastry
- 1 egg
- 140 ml double cream
- 80 g grated cheddar cheese
- 1/2 onion
- 1 tsp olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 190C degrees (170 fan, gas mark 5)
- Put a small frying pan on medium heat with a teaspoon of oil. Chop the onion as finely as you can and add to the pan.
- Cook gently until softened and just browning.
- Roll out the pastry onto a floured surface until it is 1 cm thick.
- Grease a cup cake tin, and with a glass or a biscuit cutter (slightly larger than the tin moulds), cut the pastry. Push each pastry circle into the moulds.
- Beat the egg in a bowl and continue to beat as you add the double cream.
- When completely combined, add grated cheese and the onion, then stir. Pour the mixture into each pastry case until about half full. With a fork, make sure each pastry case has some onion and cheese inside then top up the cases with the liquid until they have half a cm of pastry left above the liquid line.
- Cook in the oven for 10-12 minutes.When done, the quiche centres will have no runny liquid left visible and will have blown up to deflate almost immediately.
- When slightly cooled, move to a wire cooling rack.
For a nice twist you can add ham or pancetta too!
