Instructions
Quiche pastry
- Mix the butter, flour, egg yolk and cold water by hand or into the food processor. Work quickly and do not knead the dough.

- Heating the oven to 190℃ (375°F).
- Roll the dough and line a 26 x 2.5cm loose-bottomed, fluted flan tin with the dough. Press the pastry into the flutes, lightly prick the base with a fork.
- Put a baking tin in the oven and bake for 10 minutes.
Quiche filling
- While the quiche pastry bakes, make the quiche filling.
- Mix the egg, egg white, double cream, salt and ground black pepper.
- Sprinkle the baked quiche pastry with the swiss chard, spirng onions and bacon.

Notes
The eggs, egg white, double cream, salt and ground pepper are the basic of the quiche filling, but you can put it everything what you want. The asparagus, spinach, seafoods, onion, pumpkin, tomato, peppers or jalapeno also are good in the quiche.
