Method

  1. Preheat the oven to fan 160C/conventional180C/gas 4. Heat the oil in a frying pan and stir fry the bacon for a minute or so until lightly cooked.
  2. Beat the eggs, cream and milk together with a fork then add the cheese, nutmeg and plenty of seasoning. Stir in half the bacon and carefully pour the mixture into the baked pastry case then scatter over the remaining bacon.
  3. Bake for 35-40 minutes until the filling is set, starting to turn golden and slightly puffed up above the pastry case. Allow to cool a little before removing from the tin. Serve warm or at room temperature, with a green salad.

'It was fun to make something more elaborate than usual.We enjoyed the savoury taste and strong flavours very much and served it along with rocket salad with orange and parmesan cheese.'

    Excellent, it was eaten up very quickly at a family party. I had to make another a few days later for myself. I added mushrooms and onions aswell and used 1 less egg.
