Ingredients

Method

1.Preheat the oven to 180°C fanbake. Grease a deep, round 27cm quiche tin.

3.Heat the olive oil and butter in a large frying pan over low-to-medium heat and cook the onion, stirring until tender, light brown and beginning to caramelise. Sprinkle over the thyme leaves, stir and set aside.
4.Whisk together the cream and eggs and season. Stir in the cheese.
5.Spread onion mixture over the pastry shell then pour the egg mixture on top.
6.Bake in the oven for 30–35 minutes or until golden brown. Serve warm or at room temperature, garnished with microgreens if desired.

I love quiche. It's so versatile and quick to prepare. This decadent smoked salmon version is very cost friendly. It's great served at room temperature for a relaxed lunch or piping hot with a salad for dinner.
