Filling’s Preparation
Shortcrust Pastry Preparation
I strongly recommend you to make the pastry yourself. It is healthier, as it is surely fresher and preservative-free, but it is also really easy to make. You can use my step by step recipe to learn how to make it.
Mixture’s Preparation
Whisk the eggs in a bowl. Add the crème, yoghurt or milk, depending on what you chose to use. Add the mustard, salt and pepper, whisk again until the mixture is homogeneous.
Ending the preparation and baking the quiche
Add the mixture and the grated cheese.
Put in your oven for about 50 minutes. If the quiche is not colored enough, let it in the oven for a few more minutes, and raise the heat a bit.
Serve with some lettuce or a chicory salad.
