1 egg yolk
1 tablespoon water iced

1
Preheat oven to 400u00b0F. Preheat an oven tray. Lightly grease a 9 inch round, loose-bottomed quiche pan.
2
Sift flour into a large bowl. Rub in butter using fingertips until mixture resembles breadcrumbs. Add egg yolk and enough water to make a firm but pliable dough. Knead lightly. Wrap in plastic wrap. Chill 30 minutes.
3
Roll dough out between 2 sheets of parchment paper until 1/4 inch thick. Ease into pan. Chill 15 minutes. Trim edges and cover in parchment paper and top with baking weights. Place on hot tray.
4
Bake blind for 10 minutes. Remove paper and weights. Bake a further 5 minutes or until crust is lightly golden. Cool. Reduce oven temperature to 350u00b0F.
5
Meanwhile to make the filling, heat oil and butter together in a large frying pan on high. Saute onions for 3-4 minutes, until beginning to caramelize. Add bacon and cook, stirring, for 4-5 minutes. Scatter cheese over the crust and top with bacon and onions. In a large bowl, whisk eggs, cream and milk together. Season to taste and pour over the cheese and bacon.
6
Bake for 35-40 minutes or until set. Cool in pan. Serve quiche in wedges with salad.

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Taste as you go and adjust the seasoning before serving.
Avoid overcrowding the pan — cook in batches if needed for the best texture.
Let the dish rest for a few minutes before serving so the flavors settle.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
Coconut cream is a reliable plant-based alternative to dairy cream.
