Crustless Smoked Cheese, Red Onion And Roasted Red Pepper Quiche
Ingredients
Preparation
-
Preheat the oven to 200 degrees, 180 degrees fan oven. Lightly oil a small oven tray and the peppers then roast them for about 30 minutes. Once cool, peel off the skin, remove the seeds and cut into small, thin slices.
-
Meanwhile, peel and chop the onions and sauté very gently for 15 minutes in 2 teaspoons of olive oil and 15g of butter, stirring occasionally. Stir in the balsamic vinegar and the sugar then cook on a low heat, stirring, for a further 15 minutes.
-
Reduce the oven heat to 190 degrees, 170 degrees fan oven.
-
Coarsely grate the cheese. Grease a deep oven dish, about 22cm x 14cm, with the remaining 15g of butter.
-
Beat the eggs in a large bowl. Whisk in the cream, milk and flour then season with a little salt, a grating of nutmeg and a grinding of black pepper. Stir in the roasted red pepper strips.
-
Line the bottom of the dish with 175g of grated cheese then cover with the caramelised onion. Spoon on the egg mixture then scatter on the remaining 75g of cheese and sprinkle with paprika. Bake for 40-45 minutes, until the centre has set, then cool.
This light summery quiche is full of flavour, with applewood smoked cheese, caramelised red onion and roasted red peppers. Wonderful with a simple salad.
This quiche is delicious served cold but you can reheat it if you'd like it hot.
