Step by step recipe

Stage 1 - 5 min.

Roll out 750 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.

Stage 2 - 5 min.

Grate 120 g Comté cheese and 120 g Cheddar cheese.

Set aside.

Stage 3 - 5 min.

Cut 600 g ham into small dice.

Stage 4 - 8 min.

Melt 3 tablespoons 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.

Stage 5 - 5 min.

Preheat the oven to 390°F (200°C).

Prepare the quiche filling by whisking together in a bowl: 450 ml liquid cream, 450 ml milk, 6 eggs, 3 egg yolks, salt and pepper.

Stage 6 - 2 min.

Take the pastry case out of the fridge and prick all over the bottom with a fork. Scatter the diced ham over.

Stage 7 - 1 min.

Add the 2 cheeses evenly on top.

Stage 8 - 1 min.

Finish by pouring in the filling mixture.

Stage 9 - 30 min.

Bake for about 30 minutes.

Stage 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.

Keeping

1 or 2 days in the fridge, covered with plastic film.
