Cooker crisis is now over. We had someone come an test our cooker and the verdict was no gas leak, it just smells. His advice was to either live with it or buy a new cooker. Anyhow, today I give you my caramelised onion and goats cheese quiche. My husband really liked it and I'm sure you will too. Not for those who are watching their weight though. for those of you who don't like rolling pastry (or don't have a rolling pin) you can just make your pastry into a ball and thinly slice it. Place the slices in the dish and patch them together until you've covered the whole flan dish.
300g shortcrust pastry (either 200g plain flour mixed with 100g butter. As long as you have twice as much flour as fat, it should come out fine. Alternatively, buy it ready made from the shop.)
2 red onions
3 tbsp balsamic vinegar
3 tbsp light brown sugar
1 teaspoon honey
125g goats cheese
2 eggs
300ml cream
butter
1 tsp nutmeg
1 tsp cinnamon
Roll out your pastry and use it to line a flan dish. trim the edges just to make it look a bit neater. Don't worry if it tears (mine usually does) just patch it up.
place a sheet of greaseproof paper on top of your pastry and fill with baking beads.
Place in the oven gas mark 6 for about 15 minutes.
Meanwhile to make the caramelised onions, slice the red onions and saute on a low heat for about 5 minutes. Add the balsamic vinegar, brown sugar and honey. stir well and leave for around about 5 minutes.
Once cooked, spread caramelised onions evenly in your freshly baked pastry crust.
To make the custard filling, beat the eggs well. Add the cream, nutmeg and cinnamon and season well with salt and pepper. Mix it well and pour into your pastry case.
Cut up your goats cheese into slices and place on top of your quiche
Bake near the top of the oven at gas mark 6 for around 30-40 minutes.
Enjoy.
