  • For the shortcrust pastry
  • 1 cup flour
  • 1 3/4 ounces butter cold
  • a pinch salt
  • 2 tablespoons milk
  • For the stuffing
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 3/4 cup heavy cream
  • 2 eggs
  • 6 cups spinach cooked
  • 1/2 cup broad beans boiled
  • 1/2 cup cheddar cheese grated
  • 1 tablespoon fresh tarragon or basil or thyme, chopped
  • salt to taste
  • pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • FOR THE SHORTCRUST PASTRY
  • Mix flour and salt in a bowl, add the butter, lard and milk little by little and knead.
  • Form a loaf, cover and leave to rest in the fridge for at least 30 minutes.
  • Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface to a thickness of 5 mm.

FOR THE QUICHE

  • Line a 20 cm mold with the pastry. Prick the bottom with the prongs of a fork. Cover with parchment paper and pour over the ceramic weights or legumes. Cook in white, static oven at 200° for 15 minutes. Bake the base, remove the oven paper with weights.
  • Blanch the broad beans in lightly salted boiling water for about 5 minutes, drain and remove the skin that covers them. (read notes).
  • Coarsely chop the previously cooked and well squeezed spinach with a knife.
  • In a bowl, beat the eggs with the milk, cream, tarragon (or basil or thyme), salt and pepper.
  • Lower the oven temperature to 170° static . 
  • Put half of the grated cheese on the quiche base, cover with the spinach, put the cooked broad beans on top and finally pour the cream mixture on top.
  • Add the remaining cheese and bake for about 35-40 minutes until puffy and golden brown.
  • Serve your Coronation Quiche hot or at room temperature and enjoy!

Notes

  • Keeps in the fridge in an airtight container for 3 days.
  • The coronation quiche can also be frozen for up to 2 months.
  • To obtain 1/2 cup of cooked broad beans, use around 17  without skins I used 500 g of beans with pod (peel).
