Pour the flour in a clean blender. Add the cold butter and a pinch of salt.

Pulse the ingredients until you get a moist dough.

Transfer it to a clean surface and knead the dough for a couple of minutes until smooth. Roll the dough out and coat a tart tin.

Cover it with a sheet of baking paper and fill it up with baking beans or dried pulses. Blind bake the shell in a preheated oven at 359°F (180°C) for 10 minutes. In the meantime peel and clean the apples. Chop them into bite-size pieces. Slice the bacon finely. Add both apples and bacon to a bowl and season with some pepper and salt.

Mix well. Add the cream and the eggs to a high cup and mix it.

Once the pastry shell is cooked, let it cool for 5 minutes. Then sprinkle it with half of the grated Emmental. Top with the brie and the bacon and apple mixture. Pour the cream mixture on top.
-
Sprinkle with the rest of the grated Emmental.
-
Season with extra pepper and salt. Bake the cheese quiche in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for 30 to 35 minutes until the cream has set and the top starts to brown a little. Remove the quiche from the oven and let it cool for a couple of minutes before serving.
