When the unit has preheated, place tart tin on wire rack on Level 3. Close oven door to begin cooking.
Step 4
While the pastry is baking, whisk eggs with crème fraîche, season to taste and mix in chives and onions.
Step 5
When pastry is cooked, remove from oven. Sprinkle over Cheddar cheese then pour over egg and crème fraîche mixture.

Select BAKE, set temperature to 180°C and set time to 25 minutes. Place quiche on wire rack back onto Level 3 and close door. (The oven will not require preheating as will still be hot). Press START/STOP to begin cooking.
Step 7
Check if quiche is cooked at 20 minutes whether done by placing the point of a knife in centre which should come out clean. Cool for 5 to 10 minutes before serving. Trim pastry edges off carefully with a small sharp serrated knife while cooling.
