Flamiche (Slideshow version)

Bake for 30 to 40 minutes. Do watch the colour of the top, which should just be nicely browned.

Serve either warm or cold.

For a quicker version of this recipe, you can use normal shortcrust pastry, or even puff or flaky pastry (pâte feuilletée). However, do try this authentic lard-based version if you can.
