Say Cheese!

Today I'm gonna share with you the best Cheese Quiche recipe ever!
I've made this recipe dozens of times and it never disappoints me.
























PASTRY:
1 and 2/3 cups of plain wheat flour
125 grams of butter
1 egg
1 egg yolk
1 teaspoon of water
salt

1 - Put all the ingredients into a big bowl, mix with your hands till you have an uniform texture.
2 - Make a ball and roll in plastic film. Refrigerate for 10 minutes.
3 - Cover a clean and even surface with flour and open with a wood rolling pin till you have a thin pastry.
4 - Cover the base and the sides of a medium baking tray. (mine has 8 inches)

FILLING:
1 cup of milk
1 cup of single cream
4 eggs
120 grams of Emmenthal or medium mature cheddar cheese
80 grams of grated Parmesan cheese

1 - Preheat the oven 180ยบ C for 15 minutes
2 - Mix together the milk, cream and the eggs
3 - Slice of grate the cheese
4 - Cover the base of the tray with the cheese, pour the mix of milk and cream and sprinkle with the parmesan cheese on the top
5 - Bake in the oven for 40 minutes or till it's light golden on the top.

I enjoyed my chunky slice on the sofa, with b'day-girl-cat sleeping by one side and husband watching football by the other side. I also recommend with red wine and a fresh rocket salad.
