I do love a good Quiche, the the Lorraine kind full of delicious cream is so naughty – but so damn delicious. And cooking the Quiche Lorraine in the DeLonghi MultiFry makes it FAST FOOD – because it cooks from both the top and the bottom – in less time than it would take to drive to the shops for a pie and coke! If you haven’t seen the DeLonghi MultiFry in action watch one of our videos here to see how it works and more yummy recipes.
Method
-
First prepare the shortcrust pastry and let it sit on the bench for 5 minutes to defrost. If preparing your own pastry prepare as per directions and allow to sit in the fridge for 40 minutes before working on a floured bench.
-
Remove the paddle from the bowl.
-
Cut the pastry to fit the bottom of the bowl, keeping in mind that the circle of dough must cover the bottom of the bowl, up the sides and extend over the edge about 2 cm. Set aside and prepare bowl.
-
Cut a piece of baking paper slightly larger than the dough and put in the bowl. Place the dough in bowl and make sure it sticks well to the bottom and sides of the bowl. Prick the dough with a fork.
-
Beat the egg yolks & egg together with the cream, nutmeg, salt and pepper in a mixing bowl with a fork until well combined.
-
Grate the Gruyère cheese and set it aside.
-
Arrange the grated cheese on the dough, cover with the egg and cream mixture and add the cubes of smoked bacon. Trim the edges with a knife and cut off any excess dough.
-
Close the lid, set the thermostat dial to position 3, press the bottom heating element button and press the on/off button.
-
Cook for 20 min. and then turn the quiche 180° (using the baking paper).
-
Cook for another 10 min.
