Time 50m

Yield Serves 6

Number Of Ingredients 8

8 ounces plain flour
4 ounces margarine cut into cubes
Little salt
2 - 4 tablespoons water
3 rashers streaky bacon, chopped
2 eggs
4 ounces grated Cheddar cheese
2 teaspoons chopped onion

Steps:

To make the pastry, combine the flour, salt and margarine. Rub until it resembles fine breadcrumbs. Add the water a spoonful at a time until it comes together in a dough. I use a stand mixer on speed 2 with a K beater. Place in the fridge for 30 minutes wrapped in cling film.
Pre heat the oven to 200 degrees (not fan). Roll out the pastry to fit a 7-8" flan dish and bake blind for 10 minutes.
Fry the bacon until crisp. Beat the eggs with some seasoning then add the hot milk, bacon, cheese and onion. Spoon the mixture into the part baked pastry case, lower the oven to 180 degrees and cook for about 30 minutes until set.
This can be served hot or cold with salad. You can always swap the bacon for a vegetarian option if you prefer.

Time 1h20m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/2 lb white mushroom, stems discarded, caps thinly sliced
5 ounces thickly sliced Canadian bacon, cut into 1/2-inch dice (1 cup)
2 tablespoons chopped flat leaf parsley
1 1/2 teaspoons fresh ground pepper
10 large eggs
1 quart heavy cream
1 teaspoon kosher salt
cayenne pepper
6 ounces sharp cheddar cheese, shredded (2 cups)

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 350°. Butter a 9-by-13-inch glass baking dish. In a large skillet, melt the butter. Add the mushrooms and cook over moderate heat until their liquid evaporates, about 5 minutes. Raise the heat to moderately high and cook, stirring, until browned, about 3 minutes. Transfer the mushrooms to the prepared baking dish. Toss the bacon, parsley and pepper in the baking dish, then spread in an even layer.
In a large bowl, whisk the eggs well. Whisk in the cream, salt and a pinch of cayenne. Slowly pour the custard over the mushrooms and bacon and sprinkle the cheese over the top. Bake the custard for 50 minutes, or until just set. Transfer to a rack to cool for 15 minutes, then cut into squares and serve hot or warm.
