Quiche Lorraine

1.For shortcrust pastry, combine flour and 1 tsp sea salt in a bowl, then rub in butter with your fingertips until mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs, or pulse in a food processor. Add egg and mix (or process) until just combined. Turn pastry out onto a lightly floured work surface and knead gently until smooth. Form into a disc, wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate 2-3 hours to rest and chill.

2.Preheat oven to 200C, and butter and flour a 20cm-diameter loose-bottomed flan tin. Roll pastry on a lightly floured work surface to 5mm thick, line flan tin and refrigerate to rest and chill (20 minutes). Trim pastry, leaving 5mm above rim of tin, prick base with a fork, line with baking paper and blind-bake for 15 minutes. Remove paper and weights, and bake until pastry is golden (10-12 minutes).

3.Reduce oven to 150C. Fry speck in a non-stick frying pan over medium heat until golden (4-5 minutes). Drain on paper towels, then scatter speck over base of pastry case. Combine egg yolks, eggs, cream and nutmeg in a bowl, season to taste with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, whisk to combine, then pour mixture over speck and bake until set (30-40 minutes). Stand to cool briefly (about 10 minutes) before removing quiche from flan tin.

4.For green salad, whisk olive oil, vinegar and mustard in a bowl and season to taste, then add salad leaves, toss to combine and serve with slices of quiche.
