Marine's Quiche Spectaculer (in Metric, of course)

Materials:
  • A pie crust
  • About 150 grammes of thick smoked bacon (or salmon)
  • 1 big leek (or 2 smaller ones) optional
  • Grated cheese: swiss cheese, or conte, or… about 100grams
  • 4 eggs: 2 whole eggs and 2 egg yolks
  • ¼ liter of milk
  • ¼ liter of liquid light sour cream or about half a pot (yogurt size) of sour cream
  • Salt and pepper (to taste)
Methods:
  • Preheat the oven, about 400 degrees F (okay, we converted this one for you..)
  • Slice the leek into small pieces and boil until cooked.
  • Slice the bacon/salmon into small pieces. (Marine's note: "Personally, I take off the fat of the bacon, it’s a lot better I think." Megan's note: "bacon fat is yummy")
  • Cook the bacon in a (Marine's addition: very tiny) pan. Don’t overcook.
  • In a big bowl, mix together the milk, the cream, the 2 whole eggs, the 2 egg yolks, salt and pepper. (not too much salt, the bacon is very salted).
  • In the pie crust, cover the bottom with cheese, place the bacon and leek on top, and pour the milk/egg mixture.
  • Put in the already hot oven, mid height.
  • Cook for about 30 min ++ (Usually takes at least 45min)
  • Very yummy with a salad on the side.
  • Enjoy!!
