Ingredients
- 1 piece of
Lo-Dough - 2 rashers of low fat bacon, sliced into lardons
- 5 cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 tablespoon of chopped parsley
- A small sprinkle (approx. 10g) of cheddar cheese
- 150ml of half-fat crème fraiche
- 4 eggs
- 2-3 sprays of fry light oil
What you'll need
This diet-friendly recipe is possible with:
Method
- 1. Preheat the oven to 160C/325F/Gas 3.
- Grease a shallow 20cm quiche tin with a couple of sprays of fry-light oil and line with a circle of grease-proof baking paper.
-
Take a piece of
Lo-Dough and roll out gently between two of the thin pieces of paper found in its packet - you are only looking to flatten theLo-Dough a little. -
4. Push the
Lo-Dough into the tin evenly, taking care to push it into the corners and create an upright edge. -
5. Fry/grill the bacon lardons, drain on kitchen paper and then arrange in the
Lo-Dough case with the halved tomatoes and chopped parsley. - 6. Whisk the four eggs and half-fat creme fraiche in a jug, season to taste with salt and pepper (we think the bacon and cheese is salty enough and just go for a twist of pepper) and carefully pour over the bacon and tomatoes. Try not to spill over the sides - egg sizes vary and you may have a little more than you need. Top with a sprinkling of the cheese.
- 7. Bake in the oven for 30-40 minutes, carefully covering with foil for the first half of the cooking time. The egg mixture will puff up a bit like a souffle as it cooks, but will soon drop back down as the quiche cools. Enjoy hot or cold!
