Step 1: Prepare the Dough

To create the perfect crust for your quiche, follow these steps:

1. Gather your ingredients:

   • 250 g flour
   • 160 g butter (cold)
   • 1 egg
   • Pinch of salt

2. In a mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt.

3. Cut the cold butter into small cubes and add it to the flour.

4. Using your fingers or a pastry cutter, mix the butter into the flour until it resembles coarse crumbs.

5. Add the egg to the mixture and knead gently until a dough forms. Avoid overworking the dough to keep it flaky.

6. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Step 2: Prepare the Filling

While the dough chills, you can prepare the filling:

1. Gather your ingredients:

   • 1 onion (chopped)
   • 2 cloves garlic (minced)
   • 100 g bacon (diced)
   • 1 carrot (diced)
   • 1 broccoli (cut into small florets)
   • 2 bell peppers (diced)
   • 1 bunch spring onions (sliced)
   • Salt and pepper to taste

2. In a large skillet, cook the diced bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove and set aside.

3. In the same skillet, add the chopped onion and garlic. Sauté until translucent.

4. Add the carrots, broccoli, bell peppers, and spring onions. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are tender. Season with salt and pepper.

5. Stir in the cooked bacon and set the mixture aside to cool.

Step 3: Prepare the Cream Mixture

The cream mixture will give your quiche a rich texture:

1. Gather your ingredients:

   • 500 ml heavy cream
   • 5 eggs
   • 100 g grated Bergkäse (or any cheese of your choice)

2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and heavy cream until well combined.

3. Stir in the grated cheese, and season with salt and pepper.

Step 4: Assemble the Quiche

Now that you have your crust, filling, and cream mixture ready, it’s time to assemble:

1. Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).

2. Roll out the chilled dough on a floured surface to fit your pie dish.

3. Place the rolled dough into the pie dish, trimming any excess.

4. Spread the vegetable and bacon filling evenly over the crust.

5. Pour the cream mixture over the filling, ensuring it's evenly distributed.

Step 5: Bake the Quiche

To finish, bake your quiche to perfection:

1. Place the assembled quiche in the preheated oven.

2. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the filling is set.

3. Once done, remove the quiche from the oven and let it cool slightly before slicing.
