Caramelised Onion, Spinach and Bacon Quiche
INGREDIENTS
1 Tablespoon Olive oil
1 Tablespoon brown sugar
3 onions
1 sheet savoury shortcrust pastry
4 eggs
1 cup flour
250g Henderson’s Middle Bacon, diced
1 cup milk
1 bag spinach
⅛ cup sundried tomatoes, cut into strips (optional)
1 cup Tasty cheese
Salt and pepper to taste
METHOD
Preheat the oven to 180 degrees C. Finely chop the onions. Heat a pan on low heat. Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and cook onions for approx 5 minutes. As the onion softens, add the brown sugar.
In a separate pan, fry the bacon until golden.
Line the bottom of a quiche dish with the ready-made savoury shortcrust pastry. Bake blind for 15 minutes at 180 degrees C.
Whisk together the eggs, flour and milk.
When onions are done add the spinach to the pan for less than a minute before adding to the egg mixture. Add the bacon, sundried tomatoes, cheese and onions into the egg mixture, season with salt and pepper and stir to combine.
Pour mixture into the quiche dish and bake in the oven for 40 minutes or until cooked. Allow to cool for at least 10 minutes before serving.
