🥧 How To Make James Martin Cheese And Onion Quiche

1. Set the oven to 180 degrees Celsius.
2. Before combining the flour, butter, and salt in a bowl, crush the mixture with your fingers until it resembles coarse breadcrumbs.
3. Incorporate the egg and blend using your fingertips. Wrap in plastic and refrigerate for 30 minutes after kneading on a floured surface.
4. Prepare a 24-centimeter tart pan by greasing it and then lining it with the crust you rolled out on a lightly floured board. Transfer to a baking sheet and bake for 15 to 20 minutes without lids.
5. Layer the onions on the bottom of the tart shell after browning them in the pan with a knob of butter. Allow to cool.
6. Season the eggs, cream, and milk before whisking them into the filling.
7. After you pour the custard into the tart pan, layer on the ham, then sprinkle the cheese and tomatoes.
8. Toss with thyme and bake for 40 to 50 minutes; the center should be slightly jiggly.
9. Chop the tomatoes and cut them into half-moons and quarters. Toss with the oil and vinegar for the salad.
10. Trim the border of the pastry crust and set aside the quiche to rest for 5 minutes after cooking.
11. Add a side salad and enjoy hot, warm, or chilled.
