Recipe:
For approx. 8 portions:
2 small onions
150g smoked pork bacon
1 tbsp sunflower oil or rapeseed oil
300-400g medium-sized new potatoes
3 eggs
125g milk
125g cream
2 pinches freshly grated nutmeg
100g Allgäuer Bergkäse (Bavarian mountain cheese)
Chopped chives for serving
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
Soft butter to grease the baking dish
Peel the onions. Finely dice the onions and the bacon and slowly fry in sunflower oil over a medium heat until the onions are translucent and the bacon is crispy.
Pre-heat the oven to 200°C top/bottom heat.
In the meantime, peel the potatoes and cut into slices of about 2mm.
Grease the baking dish with soft butter, then place overlapping potato slices on the base and the edges of the baking dish, so that the whole dish is covered with a layer of potato slices. Brush the potato slices with a little soft butter and season with salt and pepper. Pre-bake in the pre-heated oven for 10 minutes.
In the meantime, whisk the eggs with milk and cream and season with salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Grate the mountain cheese and stir half of it into the egg mixture.
Spread the bacon onion mixture on top of the potatoes and carefully pour the egg mixture over. Sprinkle with the remaining cheese.
Reduce the oven temperature to 180°C top/bottom heat and bake the quiche for about 40-45 minutes until golden brown and crispy. Sprinkle with chives and serve warm or cold.
