Ingredients

  • 1 Savory pie crust homemade or store bought
  • 3.25 Oz Creme fraiche or Sour cream (3 tablespoons)
  • 3 Eggs
  • 3 Potatoes thinly sliced
  • 3-4 Bacon baked crispy and chopped
  • 4-5 Spring onions chopped and sautéed
  • 1/2 Cup Gouda cheese grated
  • 1-2 Tablespoon Parsley finely chopped
  • 1/2 Teaspoon Salt
  • 1/4 Teaspoon Black pepper freshly ground
  • 1/2 Teaspoon Paprika
  • 1/8 Teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/4 Cup heavy whipping cream

Instructions

  • If you're using my homemade savory pie recipe, preheat your oven for 400 Farhenheit.
  • Roll out your dough thinly and place it in an 8 inch baking dish and softly press it into the pan. Place a piece of baking paper on the dough and add some pie weight. I used dry beans. Bake the crust in your preheated oven for 10 minutes.
  • Prepare your filling. Bake the bacon till crisp, cooling it on a paper towel. In the meantime, saute the spring onion until soft. Peel the potatoes and slice thinly.
  • Combine the eggs, creme fraiche, salt, pepper, paprika, chili powder, heavy whipping cream, parsley and half of the cheese.
  • When your pie is done with the blind bake, let it cool a bit until you can remove the weight from it safely.
  • Next we layer the filling into the pie crust. First put in your baked spring onions, and about half of your bacon. Then put a first layer of potatoes and the rest of the the bacon on top of that. Finish with a final layer of potatoes.
  • Carefully pour your egg mixture over the potatoes. Sprinkle the grated cheese over the top.
  • Lower the oven to 375 Farhenheit.
  • Bake the quicke until it is a nice golden brown. This takes around 35-40 minutes.
  • Let the quiche rest for 10 minutes on a cooling rack before cutting into it.
