Ingredients
Preparation
First, quickly process the flour (150 g), cold butter (75 g), one egg (2), and the pinch of salt (1 pinch) into a smooth shortcrust pastry and let it rest for a short while – don't knead it too much, otherwise it becomes stubborn like a little cat!
Roll out the dough and place it into a small pan, pricking the bottom several times with a fork.
Fry the bacon (100 g) in a pan without additional fat until golden brown, then distribute it evenly over the pastry base.
Whisk the remaining egg (2) together with the cream (100 ml) in a bowl and carefully pour this mixture over the bacon.
Now sprinkle the grated Gruyère cheese (75 g) generously over the top so that everything forms a wonderful crust.
Bake the quiche at 180 degrees for about 25 minutes in the oven until it is beautifully golden yellow and firm – purr, the scent is simply heavenly!
