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.
