- 500g shortcut bacon, rind removed and diced

Cooking Steps
1
Preheat your oven to 180°c (360°F).
Use a medium sized mixing bowl to whisk, sour cream, eggs, garlic, salt and pepper, until completely combined.
2
To prepare quiche base, spray cooking oil to completely grease your baking dish (including the edges).
3
Next, line your greased dish with 1 sheet of pastry.
Take the second sheet of pastry and cut to fit around the edges of the pie dish to form a crust. Use your fingers to lightly press down on the pastry to combine the sheets and 'hug' the edge of the dish.
4
Then evenly spread diced bacon and shallots over the pastry base and carefully pour over the egg mixture.
Finally, evenly sprinkle with parmesan cheese.
For an extra crispy crust; before placing quiche in the oven, give the crust a generous spray of cooking oil.
5
Place quiche in preheated oven and cook for 30 to 40 minutes – until golden brown on top and cooked in the centre.
Serve with salad … enjoy!
Tip: Check the quiche is cooked by putting a clean knife in the centre, if it comes out clean your quiche is cooked through.
