Method

  • Pre-heat the oven to 200c/400f/gas 6.
  • Trim the tips off the asparagus to the length of 1 ½ inches.
  • Blanch in salted boiling water for 3 to 5 minutes then drain and refresh.
  • Sift the flour into a mixing bowl along with a pinch of salt, add the butter, and rub in.
  • Add enough ice cold water to bind to firm dough, turn out onto a floured surface, and roll out to fit a 10 inch fluted flan dish.
  • Bake blind in the oven at 190c/375f/gas 5 until set but not browned about 10-15 minutes.
  • With a knife, stretch the bacon rashers on a flat surface, wrap a small piece around each asparagus tip.
  • In a bowl, mix the egg yolks with the cream, grated cheese and seasoning.
  • Spoon onto the flan case and arrange the bacon and asparagus rolls in the custard.
  • Turn the oven to 180c/350f/gas 4 and bake for 30-35 minutes or until the quiche is set and golden brown. Cool for 1 hour then serve.

    A rich and tasty quiche all it needs is a simple mixed salad for that perfect light lunch or supper.

     

    A great favourite with everyone who tried it, I used to serve it for Hors d’Oeuvres but instead of the bacon used a good Parma Ham, It will keep in the fridge for up to 2 days if well wrapped. Read More
