Step by step recipe

• 1: Roll out 250 g Puff or flaky pastry (pâte feuilletée) and line a tart tin or mould. If you are using bought, ready-rolled pastry that comes with a sheet of cooking parchment, leave this underneath.
  Put to wait in the fridge.
• 2: Grate 40 g Comté cheese and 40 g Cheddar cheese.
  Set aside.
• 3: Cut 200 g ham into small dice.
• 4: Melt 1 tablespoon lard in a frying pan over medium heat. When really hot, toss in the diced ham.
  Lightly brown the ham, stirring from time to time.
• 5: Preheat the oven to 390°F (200°C).
  Prepare 500 g Quiche filling mixture.
• 6: Take the pastry case out of the fridge and prick all over the bottom with a fork. Scatter the diced ham over.
• 7: Add the 2 cheeses evenly on top.
• 8: Finish by pouring in the filling mixture.
• 9: Bake for about 30 minutes.
• 10: Serve with a green salad on the side, for example.

Remarks

For the ham, ask your butcher or deli counter for an "end" - the lump left after slicing, ideal for this recipe.
If you don't have lard, use a little oil instead.
