PICTURE TO FOLLOW NEXT TIME I BAKE A QUICHE
An electric mixer is ideal but you can use a hand-held whisk or a fork. Just make sure the ingredients are thoroughly mixed.. Most recipes use cream and / or crème fraiche. Nothing wrong with that but I find using milk produces a good, admittedly less rich, result; Plus, of course, milk is a lot cheaper.
More or less bacon and cheese to taste.
Fan ovens set about 20 centigrade cooler Test if cooked with a skewer which should come out clean
You can replace the cheese and bacon with thinly sliced vegetables .
Courgettes (zucchini) tomatoes and sweet peppers are good.
You can buy short crust pastry ready rolled or see my recipe elsewhere on these pages (coming soon)
