recipe: quiche lorraine

Hi sweeties,

I am still alive even if I haven't been posting much lately. Days and weeks pass by so quickly, I sometimes don't know what day we have...and at the end of a day, I am usually too tired to spend time in the internet. The more I am thankful for weekends. I always try to use these two days to catch up on sleep, and to do things I enjoy. This past weekend, for example, I tried a recipe I wanted to do for a very long time:

 Ingredients:

* 135g butter | * 250g flour | * 1 tsp baking powder

* salt | * 1 onion | * 250g bacon | * pepper | * 4 eggs

* 200g whipped cream | * 150ml milk |  * nutmeg | * 200g emmental cheese

What to do:

1.   Knead together 120g butter, flour, baking powder and cold 
    wateruntil you get a soft dough. Cover the Quiche pan with the
    dough and press some of the dough into the corners.
    Perforate dough with a fork. Put the pan in a cool place 
   (for at least one hour). (photo #1)
   
2.  Meanwhile, cut the onion. Melt the rest of the butter and
    add bacon to roast gently (approx. 3 min).
    Take out the bacon and add the onions to the dripping until
    their translucent. Mix bacon and onions in a bowl, spike
    with pepper.
   
3.  Whisk eggs, whipped cream and milk. Spike with pepper, salt 
    and nutmeg.Cover the dough with half of the cheese (photo
    #2), than add bacon and onions (photo #3) before adding an
    other layer with the other half of the cheese (photo #4).
    When all this is done, cover the bacon-cheese-mix with the
    egg-cream mixture (photo #5).



4.  Pre-head oven (180°C) and bake the quiche for about 40-45 
    mins, until it gets golden (photo #6).
    with chives.

This meal is, thanks to cream, cheese and bacon, a perfect meal for autumn and winter. And when you live in a single household (like me), you can eat from the meal for two or three days. For the next time I'll try some other quiche recipes, e.g. using leek.

Happy Baking!
