Method

To Make The Pastry

Weigh flour and place into a bowl with the Xanthan gum, salt, and pepper.

Double Cheese and Bacon Quiche

Cut the vegetable fat into cubes and add to the flour and mix. Rub the mixture with your fingertips until small crumbs are formed.

Beat egg, make a small well in centre of mixture and add the egg.

Knead dough into a ball, cover in Clingfilm and place in fridge for 30 minutes to chill.

To Make The Filling

Pre-heat oven at 180oC Fan oven

Roll out the pastry dough on a lightly floured surface.

Lightly grease the quiche tin with dairy free butter or baking margarine.

Using a spatula, flip one side of the pastry over the rolling pin and carefully place the pastry over the tin.

Carefully fit the pastry into the tin carefully using your fingers to fit the edges and prick the base several times with a fork.

Line with greaseproof paper leaving a slight overlap.

Fill with baking beans and chill for 10 minutes.

Remove the tin from the refrigerator and blind bake for 10 minutes.

Chop the bacon into small pieces.

Heat 1 tbsp of oil in a frying pan and cook the bacon for 3 minutes or until cooked though. Once cooked, leave to cool.

Remove pastry from oven, cool for 5 minutes and remove the beans and paper.

Trim the pastry edge with a knife for a neat finish.

Mix the cream, salt, pepper, and eggs then add the cheddar cheese, mix, and pour into the quiche tin.

Add the bacon bits evenly over the mixture.

Bake in the oven for 30 minutes or until golden and the mixture cooked through.
