Goats Cheese and Onion Quiche Recipe

Makes 4 small ones (10cm diameter)

Pastry (see here)
120g plain flour
80g butter
1 egg yolk
Salt (unless you use salted butter)
Possibly a little water

Filling
1 onion
150g of goats cheese or other soft cheese (I used the Coulommier we recently made)
1 egg + 1 egg yolk mixed in a bowl/jug (or you can mix 2 egg yolks with about 50ml of cream or a variety of other egg mixtures work too)


Method Fry the onion gently with salt and pepper until golden
Make the pastry by crumbing together the flour and butter then add the egg yolk and possibly a little water.
Refrigerate for 30 mins
Put pastry in to the tins (you can roll out and cut shapes the right size, or grate and then squidge in to the tins to cover the bottom then the sides or break of lumps and squidge them in to the tins in the same way)
Refrigerate a bit more

Crumble the cheese in to the tins, add the onion and pour over the egg mixture (leave a few mm at the top so they don't overflow as they cook)

Bake in the oven at 180°C for 40 mins or until the pastry is golden brown and the egg mixture has set.
