Steps to make Quiche Lorraine:
- First make the pastry: put the flour into a bowl and mix in the salt. Add the butter and lard and run into the flour with your fingertips until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs.
- Now work in just enough cold water to bring the dough together. When it begins to stick together, gently knead it into a ball, but be careful not to over work it. Wrap in cling film and chill in the fridge for around 30 minutes, while you make the filling.
- Crisp the bacon in a pan over a medium heat for 10 minutes. Transfer to a plate with a slotted spoon. Leave the juices in the pan.
- Place the onions in the pan and cook over a medium head for 8 minutes, or until golden. Transfer this to a separate plate. Leave to cool.
- Heat your oven to 200 degrees fan and have ready a 23cm fluted loose-based tart/flan tin, 3.5cm deep.
- Roll out the pastry onto a lightly floured surface to a 3mm thickness and use it to line the tart tin, leaving the excess hanging over the edge. Keep a little uncooked pastry back in case you need to pack any cracks later. Prick the pastry base with a fork. Line the pastry with baking parchment or foil and then fill with baking beans, or uncooked rice or lentils.
- Bake blind for 15 minutes, then remove the parchment and baking beans and return the pastry to the oven for about 8 minutes, or until it looks dry and faintly coloured. Trim away the excess pastry for the edge. Use a tiny bit of the reserved raw pastry to patch any cracks or holes if needed. Turn the oven down to 180 degrees.
- Place the cooled bacon into the pastry case, then the onions, then top with the cheese. In a bowl, whisk gentle together the eggs, cream, salt & pepper to combine, then pour into the quiche. Top this with some freshly ground nutmeg. Bake for 25-30 minutes until golden and just set. Be careful not to overcook, or the filling will become tough and full of holes.
