Instructions
- Mix in a bowl the flour with the salt. Add the butter rubbing it until it looks like crumbs.
- Add water (may need more or less. The dough should not stick).
- Wrap the dough and put in the fridge for half an hour.
- Preheat oven to 190 degrees. Grease the form. Open the dough, place it carefully on the form and bake for 25 minutes.
- Meanwhile, sauté the bacon in a nonstick pan. (do not put oil. It is already very fat by itself) and then sauté the onion.
- Beat the eggs with the cream. Take the pastry from the oven and fill with the cheese first. Save a little bit for later.
- Then add bacon, onion and then the egg with the cream.
- Sprinkle with the remaining cheese. Bake the pie for another 30 minutes til golden brown.
