NEXT LEVEL QUICHE LORRAINE

Steps:

• To make the pastry, tip the flour, butter and parmesan into a food processor with the cayenne pepper and pulse until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs. Add 2 tbsp cold water and the nigella seeds, then bring everything together using your hands. Roll into a ball and use straight away or chill for up to two days. Can be frozen for up to one month.
• Roll the pastry out on a lightly floured surface, about 5cm larger than a 23cm fluted metal tart tin. Use your rolling pin to lift it up, then drape over the tart case so there's an overhang of pastry on the sides. Using a small ball of pastry scraps, push the pastry into the corners of the tin. Chill in the fridge for 30 mins, or, better still, in the freezer for 20 mins. Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6.
• Lightly prick the base of the tart with a fork, line the tart case with a large circle of baking parchment or foil, then fill with baking beans or dried pulses. Bake the tart for 20 mins, remove the paper and beans, then continue to cook for 10 mins or until golden.
• Heat a splash of oil in a shallow pan and add the pancetta. Cook over a low heat for 5 mins until golden. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the pancetta to a bowl, leaving the fat in the pan. Season the fat with ground black pepper, let that sizzle, then pour in the double cream, and stir. Bring to the boil, then turn off the heat and leave to cool. Stir the egg yolks and crème fraîche into the bacon-flavoured cream. Whisk the egg whites until light and fluffy and just holding their shape, then fold into the cream mixture with the spring onions.
• Scatter the cheddar and pancetta over the base of the tart, then pour over the bacon cream. Top with the grated gruyère. Bake for 30 mins until set and golden. Leave to cool in the case, then trim the edges of the pastry. Remove and serve in slices.

BACON, CHEESE, AND CARAMELIZED ONION QUICHE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Fry bacon in a large skillet over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until crispy, about 10 minutes. Drain bacon slices on paper towels. Let cool 10 minutes. Crumble and set aside.
• Roll out pastry crust into a circle using a lightly floured rolling pin. Line a 9-inch pie pan with crust. Prick holes into the base of the dough using a fork.
• Bake crust in the preheated oven on the middle rack for 15 minutes.
• Remove pastry crust from the oven. Brush crust with beaten egg. Return crust to the oven and bake 5 minutes more.
• Heat butter in a pan over medium heat and stir in onion. Cook and stir until onion has softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes. Reduce heat to low and continue cooking and stirring until onion is very tender and dark brown, about 40 minutes more.
• Whisk 2 eggs together in a bowl using a fork. Add sour cream and cream cheese and beat using an electric mixer until well combined. Beat in salt and pepper.
• Spread caramelized onions with remaining butter onto pastry crust. Sprinkle with 1/2 the Cheddar cheese. Place crumbled bacon evenly over the top. Pour egg mixture over bacon. Top with remaining Cheddar cheese.

CARAMELISED ONION QUICHE WITH CHEDDAR & BACON

Steps:

• Melt the butter in a large non-stick frying pan, add the onions and cook for 20 mins, stirring now and then, until they are soft and golden brown. Season, stir in the thyme leaves, then transfer to a plate to cool.
• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6 with a large baking sheet inside. Roll out the pastry on a lightly floured surface until large enough to line a 25cm loose-bottomed tart tin, with a little overhang of pastry all the way round the top. This will stop the pastry shrinking in the oven later. If there is more overhang than you need, trim off the excess with scissors. Gently press the pastry into the sides of the tin and prick the base with a fork. Chill for 15 mins.
• Line the pastry case with a sheet of baking parchment and fill with ceramic baking beans. Bake for 15 mins on the hot baking sheet (this helps to prevent a soggy bottom). Carefully remove the parchment and beans, then return to the oven for 10 mins more until the pastry looks cooked like shortbread, but is not too brown.
• Meanwhile, put the bacon in the pan you cooked the onions in (there's no need to wash it first or add any oil) and fry for 10 mins until golden. Lift from the pan onto kitchen paper to remove any excess fat. Beat the cream, milk and eggs with seasoning and nutmeg, then stir in the bacon and half the cheese.
• Remove the pastry case from the oven and reduce heat to 190C/170C fan/gas 5. Spoon the caramelised onions evenly over the base of the pastry case. Pour in the bacon mixture, then scatter with the remaining cheese, the thyme sprigs and a little nutmeg. Bake for 25-30 mins until golden and the filling is just set with a slight wobble in the centre.
• Trim the excess pastry and leave to settle for 10 mins, then remove from the tin and slice.
