You know those recipes that you just love and never tire of? This is one of those recipes for me. And because of hubby's egg intolerance, this is one I whip up on nights when he is away, and for guests too. I get asked for this recipe a lot. So, here it is - posted with love.
INGREDIENTS
1 sheet shortcrust pastry, thawed (Or make your own mixing 1 cup plain flour, 1/4 cup oil, 1/4 cup cold water and salt. Mix, knead and roll.)
1 tbsp oil
2 onions, sliced
1 tsp sugar
1 tsp balsamic vinegar
1/2 cup feta, crumbled
1/4 cup semi sundried tomatoes, sliced
1/4 basil, shredded
3 eggs
1/2 cup cream
1/2 tsp dijon mustard
seasonings to taste
1/4 cup parmesan, grated
METHOD
1 Ease pastry into quiche dish. Trim edges. Pierce with a fork, line with foil and bake blind in moderate oven for 10-15 minutes.
2 Heat oil in a frypan. Saute onion with sugar and vinegar until onion is tender and caramelised.
3 Top pastry with caramelised onions, feta, tomatoes and basil. Whisk together eggs, cream, mustard and seasonings in a bowl. Pour over filling. Sprinkle with parmesan.
4 Bake in moderate oven for 30-35 minutes or until filling is firm. Serve warm or cold with salad and crusty bread (I serve this with cheese & herb damper with mustard honey butter).
5 To reheat. Cover with foil and bake in moderate oven for 10-15 minutes.

YUM. Will be making this for sure. I love a good egg dish.
This looks so delicious - puts the zucchini slice I made for dinner to shame!! xx
Ohhhhh Yum, Yum and YUM! This one looks divine Kymmie. Love everything in this recipe. Thank you SO much for sharing, I am going to try asap :o) xo
Yummy yummy! I just love feta - and the combination with the carmelized onions must be divine. Will try it soon!
Kymmie, I made your mustard and cheese damper the other night to go with my pot of potato, corn and zucchini soup - LC and Sapphire loved it, so it'll be a 'staple' from now on.
We don't have a food processor though, so I did the rubbing of butter into the flour with my own bare hands :)
Oh Yummy Kymmie. I love caramelised onions. I will be making this :)
I love caramelised onions too! And balsamic vinegar. My husband laughs at me because I get a 'crush,' so to speak on an ingredient and I put it in everything!
Balsamic vinegar was one of those and funilly enough, I have made a couple of things with caramelised onions in this week...
Oh god. I so want a bite.
