How To Bake A Quiche

Step One: Find Eggs



Step Two: Collect Eggs



Step Three: Assemble Utensils and Other Ingredients

Sliced mushrooms, sweet peppers, paprika, dill, oregano, basil, salt & pepper



Step Four: Start Mixing

Line a shallow flan dish with a couple of sheets of shortcrust pastry (you can use the frozen stuff - it's fine); whisk half a dozen or so eggs in a mixing bowl.



Step Five: Prepare the Pastry

Using a fork, poke holes in the pastry and then lightly cook in a hot oven (until the pastry just starts to become firm)



Step Six: Start Filling

After the pastry has firmed, remove from oven and allow to cool a bit. Then, sprinkle in a layer of grated cheese (cheddar, edam, or similar) and then add chopped mushrooms, sweet peppers, etc. along with the herbs.



Step Seven: Add More Paprika

You can never have too much paprika!



Step Eight: Fill 'er Up!

Gentle pour in the whisked egg mix and then cover with another layer of grated cheese.



Step Nine: Make It Pretty

Decorate with sliced tomato.



Step Ten: More Cheese!

Add a final layer of grated cheese and then garnish with dill.



Step Eleven: Ham It Up For The Camera



Step Twelve: Bake It!

Place the baking dish on a middle shelf in the oven and bake for 40 to 50 minutes in a medium-hot oven (dial set to about 8 o'clock - approx. 220C)



And that's all there is to it! Bon appetite!
