Instructions
- Make the Dough: Add flour, butter, egg and cold water to a stand mixer and mix on medium speed until a dough forms. Tip the pastry onto a lightly floured surface, gather into a smooth ball, then roll out as thinly as you can.1 1/2 cup All Purpose Flour, 3.5 oz Cold Butter, 1 Egg Yolk, 4 tsp Cold Water
- Make the Pastry: Line a 23 x 2.5cm loose-bottomed, fluted flan tin and ease the pastry into the base of the tin. Trim the edges of the pastry with scissors so it is slightly above the mould (if it has shrunk, it should not be lower than the height of the mould now). Press the pastry into the indentations, prick the base lightly with a fork, and refrigerate for 10 minutes.
- Preheat and Start Cooking the Pastry: Set the oven to Roast mode at 180°C, preheat ON, and cooking time 17 minutes. Press the "Start Cooking" button to start preheating. Once preheated, place the mould on the roasting pan and insert it into Level 2.
- Remove the Pastry from Oven: With a pair of oven gloves, carefully remove the pastry from mould.
- Prepare the Filling: Heat a small frying pan, tip in 200g lardons and fry for a couple of mins. Drain off any liquid that comes out, then continue cooking until the lardons just start to colour, but aren’t crisp. Remove and drain on paper towels.7 oz Pack Lardons
- Prepare the Cream-egg Mixture: In a bowl, mix together the cream, eggs, cheese, and nutmeg, then season with salt.
- Assembling the Quiche: Scatter the cheese and fried lardons over the bottom of the pastry case. Pour the filling into the pastry case.
- Cook the Assembled Quiche: Set the oven to Roast mode at 180°C, preheat ON, and cooking time 20 minutes. Place the pie dish on the roasting pan and insert it into Level 2 to continue baking.
