Egg Bacon Flan Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Place unthawed pie crust on a baking sheet. In a medium bowl, mix the bacon, onions, and both cheeses. Pour this mixture into the crust.
• Mix the eggs and half and half in a bowl. Pour the egg mixture over the cheese mixture.
• Bake in preheated oven for 15 minutes. Reduce heat to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and bake for an additional 35 minutes, until top of quiche begins to turn brown.

Steps:

• Bake chilled dough in a 9 1/2-inch tart pan at 375 degrees for 15 to 20 minutes, until lightly browned. Patch any small holes with leftover dough. Cool.
• Make the custard: in mixing bowl, beat eggs. Whisk in crème fraîche, milk, salt, pepper, nutmeg and cayenne. Set aside.
• Put bacon in small saucepan, cover with water and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Simmer for about 5 minutes or until tender, then drain and cool slightly.
• Set tart pan on a baking sheet. Sprinkle bacon evenly over bottom of pastry. Add Gruyère if using. Beat custard once more and carefully pour into tart shell. Bake at 375 degrees for 30 to 35 minutes, until top is golden and custard is set. Cool for 10 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 180°C.
• Combine all ingredients together in a large bowl.
• Pour mixture into a greased pie plate or cake pan.
• Bake for approximately 1 hour or until quiche has set.

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.
