Ingredients
  

For the crust:

  • 1 sheet ready-made shortcrust pastry
  • 1 tablespoon flour for dusting

For the filling:

  • 2 large onions thinly sliced
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 cup double cream
  • 1 cup grated mature cheddar cheese
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon nutmeg optional

Instructions
  

Prepare the Pastry

  • Preheat your oven to 180°C. Lightly dust a surface with flour. Roll out the shortcrust pastry gently. Place it into the tart dish. Press into the edges carefully and trim extra pastry.

Blind Bake the Crust

  • Line the pastry with baking paper. Add baking beans or dry rice on top. Bake for 15 minutes. Remove paper and beans. Bake again for five minutes until lightly golden. This prevents soggy crust later.

Cook the Onions

  • Heat butter in a frying pan over medium heat. Add sliced onions. Cook slowly for 10–12 minutes. Stir often until soft and slightly golden. This step brings sweet flavor to the quiche.

Prepare the Egg Mixture

  • In a bowl, crack the eggs. Add double cream, salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Whisk until smooth. The mixture should look creamy and well combined. This forms the rich custard filling.

Assemble the Quiche

  • Spread cooked onions evenly over the baked crust. Sprinkle grated cheddar cheese on top. Carefully pour egg mixture over onions and cheese. Do not overfill. Leave small space at top.

Bake the Quiche

  • Place the dish in the oven. Bake for 25–30 minutes. The center should be set but slightly soft. The top should turn golden brown. This is the perfect texture.

Cool and Serve

  • Remove from oven and let it cool for 10 minutes. Cooling helps the filling firm up. Slice carefully and serve warm. Now you know exactly how to make Hairy Bikers Cheese And Onion Quiche Recipe at home.

Notes

  • Use red onions for slightly sweeter taste.
  • Add chopped chives for fresh flavor.
  • Mix in cooked bacon for extra richness.
  • Use Gruyère cheese instead of cheddar.
  • Let quiche rest before slicing for clean cuts.
  • Serve with green salad for balance.
