[[greaseproof paper]] under the baking beans. Perhaps this picture will remind me next time!]]
Another recipe that has come about as a result of my recent craze, making quiches. This time I thought I would use some of our Home smoked bacon and fresh eggs from our hens.

I'm using Jus Rol ready made shortcrust pastry and find that 1 500g pack is too much pastry for a (shallow) 10" [[Push-out flan dish]], so this time I used about half - which means I can make another one tomorrow!

''Love this!!!''

5/5 

Homemade quiches are the dog's! So easy to add all of your favourite ingredients; normally lots of chillies. :D

[[Image:Remember the greaseproof.jpg|thumb|right|300px|Twice now, I've forgotten to put {{RecipeIngredients
| 250 g (9 oz) from block of ready-made [[shortcrust pastry]]
| 2 [[free range eggs]], beaten
| 45 ml (4 tablespoons) of [[milk]]
| 3 tablespoons of [[mascarpone cheese]]

}}

===[[Mise en place]]===
* Allow the pastry to get to room temperature before rolling it out.

===Method===

{{RecipeMethod
| Preheated the oven to 200° C (400° F - Gas 6)
| Roll the pastry and use it to line a greased 20 cm (8") [[push-out flan dish]]
| [[Blind baking|Bake blind]] at 200° C (400° F - Gas 6) for 10 minutes
| Beat the [[eggs]], [[milk]], [[mascarpone cheese]] and season to taste with [[pepper]] - [[salt]] won't be needed with the bacon
| Stir in the bacon pieces
| Pour the egg and bacon mixture into the blind-baked flan case
| Decorate with whatever you have to hand, I used half of a [[green pepper]], sliced, but use whatever you have to hand, [[tomatoes]] look and taste are good.
| Reduce the heat of the oven to 180° C (350° F - Gas 4)
| [[Bake]] for a further 40 minutes
}}
===Serving suggestions===

Serve hot or cold
===Notes===
Our [[bacon]] is smoked and dried for 4 months so can be eaten without cooking rather like ham. If you're using normal bacon I would cook it first.
