Take your time with the “Margin Sweep.” It’s those tiny gaps and intentional white spaces that turn a standard webpage into a premium brand experience. If you find a block that refuses to budge no matter what settings you change, it’s likely a CSS “Ghost Margin” from the theme—just ping me, and we’ll exorcise it together. 

Expert Guide: While you’re checking those gaps, would you like me to show you how to set different Mobile-only margins so your recipe looks just as spacious and readable on a phone as it does on a desktop?

Ingredients
 

  • 250 grams All-Purpose Flour
  • 3 Chicken Egg
  • 250 milliliters Milk
  • 200 grams Pearl Sugar
  • 1 teaspoon Fine Sea Salt
  • 1 tbsp White Sugar
  • 250 grams Strawberry
  • 250 milliliters Whipped Cream

Equipment

  • Chopping board
  • Knife
  • Pie dish 26 cm diameter 8 cm height
  • Fork
  • Skillet
  • Mixing bowl large
  • Whisk

Method

Partially pre-bake the pie shell
  1. Baker greasing cake pan with butter, ingredients around. Baking preparation scene.
    Preheat the oven to 200°C conventional, 180°C convection, Gas mark 6.
  2. 250 grams All-Purpose Flour
    Preparing baking sheet with parchment paper for baking.
    Line a pie dish with shortcrust pastry. Press down into the curves with the back of your fingers. Trim the edges and crimp as desired.
  3. Baker greasing cake pan with butter, ingredients around. Baking preparation scene.
    Prick the bottom of the dish with the tines of a fork, especially the circumference all around the base to prevent puffing.
  4. "Docking" - to prevent the pockets of steam in the dough from puffing up.
  5. Piping dough for eclairs onto baking sheet with parchment paper.
    Bake the crust for 15 minutes or until the edges just start to turn golden brown and the base is set but barely golden.
Mise en place
  1. Preparing baking sheet with parchment paper for baking.
    If using streaky bacon, cut into 2 cm-wide strips. If using smoked pork belly slices, trim off the rind and any cartilage then cut into 2 cm-long strips. Bacon bits are ready to use.
Prepare the bacon
  1. Baking ingredients: flour being sifted, sugar, cocoa, eggs, and colorful candies.
    In a skillet, render the fat out of the streaky bacon/smoked pork belly slices/bacon bits over medium high heat. Keep a close eye not to burn.
  2. Piping dough for eclairs onto baking sheet with parchment paper.
    Just about when the bacon starts to become crispy to your liking but not dried out (around 10 minutes), turn off the heat. Discard excess fat if any.
  3. Leave the bacon in the skillet as it will continue to cook from the remaining heat. Drain the fat (optional).
Prepare the filling
  1. 3 Chicken Egg
    250 milliliters Milk
    Baker greasing cake pan with butter, ingredients around. Baking preparation scene.
    In a mixing bowl, whisk the eggs, egg yolks, milk and heavy cream.
  2. 1 teaspoon Fine Sea Salt
    Baking ingredients: flour being sifted, sugar, cocoa, eggs, and colorful candies.
    Season with fine sea salt, pepper and nutmeg.
  3. Hold back on salt as the bacon/smoked pork belly is usually heavily salted on its own as part of the conservation process.
Assemble and bake the quiche
  1. Piping dough for eclairs onto baking sheet with parchment paper.
    Keep the oven at 200°C conventional, 180°C convection, Gas mark 6.
  2. Preparing baking sheet with parchment paper for baking.
    Spread the crispy bacon evenly on top of the pie crust.
  3. 200 grams Pearl Sugar
    Piping dough for eclairs onto baking sheet with parchment paper.
    At the oven door, pour over the egg-cream mixture. Sprinkle the cheese evenly on top.
  4. Baking ingredients: flour being sifted, sugar, cocoa, eggs, and colorful candies.
    Bake for 35-40 minutes or until the quiche is golden brown to your liking.
  5. For a dark brown sheen with a crispy flaky crust, use water. For a light matte sheen with a soft crust, use milk.
Serving
  1. Woman plating a cake on a stand in a kitchen.
    Remove from the oven and set aside to cool for 30 minutes before serving. Enjoy it warm or cold. Pairs well with the green salad.
