Ingredients

For the pastry:

1 pound 1-ounce (500 grams) plain flour
3 1/2 ounces (100 grams) lard
5 1/2 ounces (150 grams) butter
Pinch salt
2 large organic eggs

For the filling:

5 large organic eggs
1 pint (568 milliliters) double cream (heavy cream)
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Pinch freshly grated nutmeg
1 handful Cheddar and Gruyere cheese, finely grated
1 bunch chives, finely chopped
1 (4-ounce) log goat's cheese, crumbled
10 thin slices pancetta
1 small handful thyme tips, mixed into olive oil

Directions

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C/gas 5). Rub together the flour and the fat. Add the eggs and bring together carefully without over working it. Chill in the refrigerator for 1 hour. Once your pastry has chilled roll it out to fit an 11-inch (28 centimeter) tin with a removable bottom. Freeze the pastry mold then cover with greased paper, fill the tin with baking beans and bake it blind for 10 minutes.

Lower the oven temperature to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C/gas 4). Mix all the filling ingredients together then pour the filling into the pastry case. Sprinkle over the goat's cheese, lay over the pancetta slices and then finish off with a drizzle of your thyme oil. Bake in the oven for 30 minutes.

Quiche is suppose to be reasonably simple and standard. Who has 1 LB of flour to invest when they're shopping a... recipe? Jeez!Read more

OUTSTANDING!!!!!!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I HAVE THIS FIRM RULE....MAKE THE RECIPE EXACTLY AS PRINTED THE FIRST TIME, NEXT TIME I CAN GET CTEATIVE. SO I ADDED 2... CHOPPED & SAUTEED LEEKS, 2 HANDFULS OF GRUYERE & LEFT OUT THE GOAT CHEESE, 10 SLICES BACON, NO THYME----DELICIOUS. THE OUTSTANDING PART----THE CRUST! SIMPLY INCREDIBLE!!!!!!! THE ABSOLUTE FLAKIEST,[I'M SURE FROM THE BUTTER / LARD COMBO], BUTTERY FLAVORED,OUT OF THIS WORLD CRUST!!! ALSO, IT MADE WAY WAY MORE THAN ENOUGH. I USED A CUISINART 11" HEART SHAPED EARTHENWARE BAKER & PROBABLY HAD ENOUGH CRUST TO MAKE ANOTHER 9" CRUST. NOT COMPLAINING, NOW I KNOW FOR THE NEXT TIME. IN ADDITION, IT WAS A VERY HARD BRITTLE CRUST TO ROLL, SO I SIMPLY PRESSED IT IN THE BAKER, & CRIMPED THE EDGES-----YOU'D NEVER BE ABLE TO TELL. I THINK THIS CRUST WOULD BE DELECTABLE WITH CHICKEN POT PIE. GONNA TRY IT NEXT. THANKS JAMIE!!!!!!Read more

Excellent quiche recipe. First time I've ever baked any kind of quiche, and I thought it turned out very well. Perhaps the... presentation wasn't as great as Mr Oliver's, but it was fantastic.Read more
