A super easy and quick to make recipe for a delicious savoury tart
Have you seen this video where a kid tries bacon for the first time? It is just priceless! :) I love bacon and I love adding it to different dishes to give them some extra flavour. This creamy bacon and cheese tart is another very simple and quick to make tart (quiche/pie) recipe that you can prep in less than thirty minutes, but this does not compromise the taste in any way.
​
You can have it for a hearty, savoury breakfast. You can have it for a light lunch or dinner with a crunchy green salad on the side, or ​you can make it for a family get together or a dinner/lunch party with friends and I promise you everyone will enjoy their piece of this delicious tart.
​
And if you will end up having some leftovers, do not worry, this tart tastes really good on the second day as well. Wrap the leftovers up, store them in the frigde and just warm it up a little in a microwave before serving.

Happy Baking lovelies!

DIRECTIONS
​
-
Cut the onion into small cubes and leave aside.
-
Cut the bacon into small pieces and fry over medium heat until the bacon starts to release some fat. Then add the onion and fry until the onion has become translucent. Remove from heat and leave aside.
-
Cream butter with a hand mixer first on the low setting and then on high until pale and creamy (for about 3 minutes).
-
Add the egg and mix for another minute.
-
Combine all dry ingredients together and add to the butter mixture.
-
Mix with a hand mixer on low setting just until combined.
-
Butter a 26cm pie pan and press the batter into the pan evenly.
-
Do not worry if it looks like there is not enough filling, once it will bake it will rise.
-
To make the filling, whisk eggs with milk in a medium bowl. Season with salt and pepper.
-
Then add bacon, onion, red bell pepper and cheese and mix shortly.
-
Pour the filling over the base and sprinkle over some dry oregano.
-
Bake the tart in 175°C bottom top heat at the bottom half of the oven for 45 minutes. Let cool shortly before serving.
-
Serve warm with a side salad.
TIP. This tart can be made beforehand. If making the tart beforehand, cool it completely and then store in the fridge until serving. Before serving warm up shortly in the microwave.
