Bacon, Cheese And Tomato Quiche

By James Martin from The Great British Village Show Cook Book

Serves 4

Cooking Time 1 hour and 15 minutes

Ingredients:

For The Pastry:
200 G plain flour plus extra for dusting
a pinch of salt
100 G butter, plus extra for greasing

For The Filling:
200 G back bacon, chopped
250 G Cheddar cheese, grated
3 tomatoes, sliced
5 eggs, beaten
100 ML milk
200 ML double cream
salt and pepper
2 sprigs of fresh thyme, storks discarded

Method:

1.  To make the pastry: sift the flour and salt into a large bowl.  Rub in the 
butter until you have a soft breadcrumb texture, add enough cold water, about 2 
tablespoons to form a firm dough.  Wrap the dough in cling film and leave to 
rest in the fridge for 30 minutes.

2.  Roll out the pastry on a lightly floured surface and use to line a well 
buttered
 22 CM flan dish, do not cut off the excess pastry just yet and chill again for 
thirty minutes.

3.  Preheat the oven to 200 degrees Celsius/400 degrees Fahrenheit/gas mark 6.  
Line the bottom of the pastry case with baking parchment or foil, then fill 
with baking beans, place the flan dish on a baking tray and bake blind for 15 
to 20 minutes.  Remove the baking beans and parchment or foil and return to the 
oven for another 5 minutes, set aside.

4.  Reduce the oven temperature to 180 degrees Celsius/350 degrees 
Fahrenheit/gas mark 4.

5.  Fry the bacon pieces until crisp, then drain them on kitchen paper.  
Sprinkle the cheese over the pastry base.  Arrange the sliced tomatoes over the 
cheese and place the bacon pieces on top.

6.  Combine the eggs milk and cream in a bowl and season well.  Pour over the 
bacon and cheese, sprinkle the thyme over the top and bake for 40 to 45 minutes 
or until the filling has just set.  Remove from the oven and allow to cool 
before serving.
