Step 1

Preheat the oven to 175°C if your oven is hot - otherwise 200°. (350°F)

Step 2

Put the butter, flour, salt and egg (optional) in the cuisinart and mix it until it forms a ball of dough.

Step 3

Roll the dough out, using plenty of extra flour so it doesn't stick. Place it in quiche pan.

Step 4

Lightly fry bacon, but don't let it get too brown. Drain the excess fat.

Step 5

Whisk 4 eggs, plus the sour cream and spices.

Step 6

Cover the dough with bacon and pour the egg mixture over the top.

Step 7

Bake 20 minutes, and then turn the quiche so it browns evenly. Add 5-10 more minutes, lowering the heat if you need to.

Step 8

It tastes best warm.
