Equipment

Ingredients
 
 

  • 250 g ready-rolled shortcrust pastry
  • 100 g chorizo cubed
  • 1 small red onion thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoon red onion chutney
  • 100 g mature cheddar grated
  • 130 ml milk
  • 130 g creme fraiche
  • 2 large eggs
  • 90 g cherry tomatoes halved
  • green salad to serve

Instructions
 

  • Unroll the shortcrust pastry over a 20cm tart tin and press the pastry onto the base and sides of the tin. Trim the excess pastry with a knife. Prick the base with a fork and pop the tin in the freezer for 20 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 180°C. Bake the tart case on the middle shelf for 15 minutes.
  • In the meantime, fry the onion and cubed chorizo in a frying pan, until the onion and chorizo are starting to brown for about 10 minutes.
  • When the quiche base is cooked, spread the red onion chutney on the base. Scatter the onion and chorizo. Then add the grated cheese. Arrange the halved tomatoes on top.
  • In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk and creme fraiche. Season with pepper (I don't add salt, as chorizo and cheddar are salty enough for us). Pour this mixture into your quiche.
  • Carefully transfer your quiche into the oven, making sure the egg mixture doesn't spillover.
  • Cook for 30 minutes, or until the quiche is set. Leave it to settle for 5 minutes before cutting into portions. Serve with your favourite green salad.
