- Roll out the pastry and put into a greased flan tin.
- Cut the bacon into small squares and fry it until crispy. Put the cooked bacon into the bottom of the quiche.
- Grate the cheese, then mix it with the egg yolk and cream. Pour this into over the bacon, leaving a little bit of room as the quiche will bubble a bit when cooking.
- Cook for about 45 mins. It's done when it's brown and set.

Tips
If you are making a large quiche, you may need to cook at a lower temperature for longer. Keep an eye on it while it's cooking and if it starts brown while it is still wobbly, turn the oven down. You can also cover it with foil if you want to stop it from browning any more.
