#CheeseandOnionQuiche #ASMR #PrepCookEat

Ingredients:
300g plain flour plus extra for dusting
140g cold butter (salted tastes better but can use unsalted)
2 large onions (500g)
2 tbsp oil
3 eggs
300ml double cream
140g cheddar cheese
Salt to taste

Method:
1) Pour 300g plain flour into a mixing bowl. Add 140g cold butter to the flour and mix using only your fingers and not your palm. This will help prevent the butter from melting. Mix until the mixture resembles a breadcrumb like texture.
2) Add approximately 6 to 8 tbsp of cold water to the flour butter mixture. Mix again, you can use your whole hand this time, until mixture starts to come together.
3) Roll the dough out onto the worktop and knead for a minute. Roll into a ball and put in the fridge for 20 minutes to harden.
4) Remove the dough from the fridge and roll out on a floured surface so that the pastry is wider than the dish you will cook it in.
5) Place the rolled out pastry into an ovenproof dish, making sure that there is excess pastry hanging over the edge as the pastry will shrink when in the oven. Press the bottom of the pastry with a fork to prevent it rising too much.
6) Put in the the oven for 20 minutes at 180 degrees fan. This is the blind bake. Once done, remove and allow to cool
7) Cut 2 onions into thin slices
8) Fry the onions over a medium low heat in a pan until they start softening. Add salt at this stage.
9) Remove the onions from the heat and allow to cool for 10 minutes otherwise it will scramble the eggs when you make the quiche filling.
10) Add 3 eggs into a mixing bowl and whisk
11) Pour 300ml double cream into the eggs and mix
12) Now bring the onions into the cream egg mixture
13) Add half the cheese (70g) into the filling and mix
14) Pour filling into the partially cooked pastry dish. Add the remaining cheese on top
15) Bake for 30 minutes at 180 degrees fan until the filling becomes set and golden. Remove any excess pastry around the edge once cooked.
16) Quiche is ready to eat hot or allow to cool and can be eaten cold
Enjoy!
