Homecooking goes Gallic<\/p><\/div>\n

I made quiche for the very first time last night! It’s something that I’ve been wanting to attempt for a long time and finally got round to doing it. I had to buy a baking tin for it as I didn’t have a dish that was deep enough.<\/p>\n

Instead of milk or cream, I decided to use creme fraiche instead to give a lighter flavour. However I didn’t have a proper whisk so I couldn’t mix it in properly with the eggs, so I ended up with some creme fraiche lumps.<\/p>\n

For the crust I used puff pastry which I bought from the supermarket. I prefer shortcrust pastry but none were found in the supermarket and I didn’t have time to make it from scratch.<\/p>\n

Onions, green capsicum and cherry tomatoes were the three vegetables I included. I had sauteed the onions and capsicum in butter, salt and black pepper before putting it to bake with the eggs.<\/p>\n

A passable maiden effort, but the inside of the quiche was a bit too watery. I had probably added too much creme fraiche or just didn’t mix it in well.\u00a0 I liked the taste of the baked cherry tomatoes as it gives a slightly tart taste.<\/p>\n

The great thing about quiche is the myriad varieties you can make. I will definitely be trying my hand at it again with different ingredients!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
