Time 1h20m

Yield Slices into 8

Number Of Ingredients 7

25g butter
500g small onion, (about 5 in total), halved and finely sliced
2 eggs
284ml pot double cream
140g mature cheddar, coarsely grated
280g plain flour, plus extra for dusting
140g cold butter

Steps:

  • To make the pastry, tip the flour and butter into a bowl, then rub together with your fingertips until completely mixed and crumbly. Add 8 tbsp cold water, then bring everything together with your hands until just combined. Roll into a ball and use straight away or chill for up to 2 days. The pastry can also be frozen for up to a month.
  • Roll out the pastry on a lightly floured surface to a round about 5cm larger than a 25cm tin. Use your rolling pin to lift it up, then drape over the tart case so there is an overhang of pastry on the sides. Using a small ball of pastry scraps, push the pastry into the corners of the tin (see picture, above left). Chill in the fridge or freezer for 20 mins.
  • Heat oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6. While the pastry is chilling, heat the butter in a pan and cook the onions for 20 mins, stirring occasionally, until they become sticky and golden. Remove from the heat.
  • Lightly prick the base of the tart with a fork, line the tart case with a large circle of greaseproof paper or foil, then fill with baking beans. Blind-bake the tart for 20 mins, remove the paper and beans, then continue to cook for 5-10 mins until biscuit brown.
  • Meanwhile, beat the eggs in a bowl, then gradually add the cream. Stir in the onions and half the cheese, then season with salt and pepper. Carefully tip the filling into the case, sprinkle with the rest of the cheese, then bake for 20-25 mins until set and golden. Leave to cool in the case, trim the edges of the pastry, then remove and serve in slices.

1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese

Steps:

Tips:

  • Use a variety of onions. Yellow onions are the most common, but you can also use white, red, or even sweet onions for a more complex flavor.
  • Caramelize the onions slowly and patiently. This will bring out their sweetness and help them develop a deep, rich flavor.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the onions. This will prevent them from caramelizing properly.
  • Use a good quality cheddar cheese. A sharp cheddar will give the quiche the best flavor.
  • Don't overmix the quiche filling. Overmixing will make the quiche tough.
  • Bake the quiche until the center is just set. Overbaking will make the quiche dry.
  • Let the quiche cool for at least 15 minutes before slicing and serving. This will help it to set and hold its shape.

Conclusion:

This sticky onion cheddar quiche is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. It's a great way to use up leftover onions, and it can be served for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. The quiche is also a great make-ahead meal, so you can enjoy it all week long.
