Ingredients

For the shortcrust pastry

  • 200 g Plain flour
  • 100 g Fat margarine or lard
  • 30 ml Water to combine as needed

For the filling

  • 150 grams tenderstem broccoli
  • 8 tbsp sundried tomatoes
  • 5 eggs
  • 3 tbsp parmesan grated
  • 50 ml cream
  • Salt and pepper

Instructions

  • First you need to prepare the pastry case.
  • Grease an 18inch quiche tin before starting to run the flour and fat together to form breadcrumbs.
  • Once breadcrumbs have formed add cold water one tbsp at a time until the mixture comes together into dough. Make sure you use the least amount of water as possible; you do not want the dough to be sticky!
  • Place the dough into the fridge for 20mins to rest and treat yourself to a cup of tea.
  • Once the pastry has rested, roll it out into a circle until it is large enough to fill the quiche dish and the sides. If there is excess don’t worry about trimming it yet.
  • Prick the base of the quiche with a fork before placing grease proof paper over the top, covering with baking beads (or dry lentils/pulses) and blind baking for roughly 20mins or until golden at gas mark 4.
  • Halfway through the blind bake, you can begin preparing the filling.
  • Blanch the broccoli for 5-10mins until tender.
  • Next whisk together the egg and cream before stirring in the parmesan.
  • Before filling, trim the cooked case with a sharp knife.
  • Next, spread the broccoli and sundried tomatoes evenly across the base of the quiche before pouring over the egg mix.
  • Finally, bake the quiche at gas mark 5 for 15-20mins or until the egg has cooked through.
  • Serve hot or cold!
