Prepare

Instructions (preparation time: about 90 minutes)

1. Put seasoning A into a bowl and mix well, then add the egg yolk and mix further.
2. Place the room temperature cream in another bowl and stir with a rubber spatula until smooth. Add the sifted cake flour and mix.
   • Tip : It’s ok if the whole thing turns into yellow cheese powder.
     
3. Gradually add batter 1 to 2 portions at a time and mix.
4. Wrap step 3 in plastic wrap, roll it out to 2mm thick with a rolling pin, and refrigerate for at least 6 hours. Preheat the oven to 210°C and time for 30 minutes (preheating time: about 10 minutes).
5. Place step 4 on a floured surface and roll out to 5mm thickness.
   
   
6. Place step 5 on top of the mold and press with your fingers so the dough adheres. Use your fingers to shape the protruding dough from the mold to make a mold.
   
   
7. Place aluminum foil on top of the dough, place a pie stone on top and bake in an oven preheated to 210°C for 30 minutes.
   
   
8. Cut bacon and ham into 1mm cubes, cut Gouda cheese into 5mm cubes, and chop onions. Add olive oil to the skillet and fry until golden brown.
   • Tip : Gruyere is a common cheese, but this time I used Gouda cheese. Please enjoy pairing with your favorite cheese.
9. Put the egg mixture ingredients into a bowl and stir evenly.
10. After the pie crust is baked, take it out to cool. Preheat the oven to 200°C again and time for 25 minutes (preheating time: about 10 minutes).
11. Spread the ingredients from step 8 onto the cooled pie crust, then pour in the egg mixture from step 9. Bake in an oven preheated to 200°C for 25 minutes.
