Bacon, Mushroom and Spinach Quiche

Hi there!!
We are back with another post! (Well, just one of us because Nat's having fun in Japan) (sushi!!)
Anyway, I know I said I would bake something with lemon in it the last time, but I'm saving that for later on, so I decided to bake a savoury tart this time aka a quiche!
In case you don't know what a quiche is, lemme attempt to explain haha basically it's a pastry tart with a creamy, cheesy filling and it usually has ingredients like bacon and various types of vegetables. Personally I'd prefer a quiche over other savoury pies/tarts like Shepard's pie any day.
So here's the recipe and this is my first time trying a Gordon Ramsay recipe haha so exciting right Gordon Ramsay. His recipe is actually for a rocket, mushroom and bacon quiche but I decided to replace spinach with rocket just for fun. And maybe because I'm not the biggest rocket fan around. Yeah, that's not the only thing I changed....
1. I didn't add thyme to the pastry or tarragon to the custard or red onion and chicory to the filling.
2. I also replaced the 100g of Gruyere cheese and 100g of cheddar cheese with 200g of Swiss cheese instead.
And I still think it tasted great! But yeah feel free to customise the ingredients to suit your tastebuds :)
 This is the pastry, glazed and ready for a second bake. It also had to be chilled before baking it the first time. So yeah, it requires quite a bit of work but IT WILL BE WORTH IT. Special thanks to my cousin who came back from Australia for a visit for helping me with this. Yay! We seriously thought we had screwed up the dough but it still worked out fine (thanks to my mom heh)
 I had fun cooking the spinach, mushroom and bacon haha and the filling already looks good before baking please.
It tasted really good :) not too hard/starchy, quite light actually. Texture's good. SO TRY IT. I'm quite sure I'm going to make this again, and that means something okay. To quote my mom: "Everything tastes good with bacon."
 Before I end, my brother's panna cotta makes a cameo! Panna cotta is an Italian dessert in case you haven't heard of it. It's sort of like a pudding, more more creamy and liquid-y I guess. If you're interested in making it, just search it up on Allrecipes.
Alright that's all for now, can't wait for Nat to get back! Hope you enjoyed this! :) I need to take better photographs.
