Step by step recipe

---

Stage 1 - 7 min.

We'll be using a deep 8 inch (20 cm) dessert ring, rather than a tin or mould for this quiche.

Roll out 300 g Shortcrust pastry (pâte brisée) to the size of the ring + the height of the sides.

---

Stage 2 - 3 min.

Sit the ring on a sheet of cooking parchment laid on a baking sheet.

Line the ring with the pastry, leaving the excess hanging over the edge, and put to wait in the fridge.

---

Stage 3 - 4 min.

Slice 250 g cooked potatoes.

Set aside.

---

Stage 4 - 6 min.

Grate 40 g Comté cheese and 40 g Cheddar cheese.

---

Stage 5 - 5 min.

Prepare the quiche filling by mixing together 150 ml milk, 150 ml liquid cream, 2 eggs and 2 egg yolks, plus salt and pepper, in a bowl with a whisk.

Set aside.

---

Stage 6 - 10 min.

Prepare 1 leek and chop finely.

Do the same with 1 spring onion (scallion).

Set aside.

---

Stage 7 - 8 min.

Pour 2 tablespoons olive oil into a frying pan on high heat. When good and hot, add 200 g small pieces of bacon.

Fry until nicely browned, then transfer to a plate, leaving the fat in the pan. Put the pan back on the heat.

---

Stage 8 - 1 min.

Add the chopped onion and cook in the bacon fat for 1 minute.

Stage 9 - 4 min.

Add the leek, salt and pepper. Cook for a few minutes until the leek becomes translucent.

Stage 10 - 1 min.

Then add the bacon...

---

Stage 11 - 2 min.

...and the sliced potatoes. Mix well.

Turn off the heat.

---

Stage 12 - 4 min.

Preheat the oven to 390°F (200°C).

Take the pastry case in its ring, now very cold, out of the fridge, and trim off any excess pastry.

Prick all over the bottom of the pastry with a fork.

---

Stage 13 - 2 min.

Fill with the vegetable and bacon mixture.

---

Stage 14 - 2 min.

Scatter the grated cheese evenly over the top.

---

Stage 15 - 2 min.

And pour over the quiche filling mixture.

Stage 16 - 30 min.

Bake for about 30 minutes.

Leave to cool for 5 minutes before slipping off the ring and use the paper to help slide the quiche onto its serving plate.
