Ingredients
Pastry
- 125 grams plain flour
- pinch of salt
- 25 grams cold butter, diced
- 25 grams lard
- 2 tbsp milk
- 1 250 gram block of ready-made shortcrust pastry
Filling
- 125 ml milk
- 175 ml cream
- 2 medium eggs
- 1 tbsp chopped fresh tarragon
- salt and pepper
- 100 grams grated cheddar cheese
- 180 grams cooked spinach, lightly chopped
- 60 grams cooked broad beans or soya beans
Method
Pastry
- 1Sieve flour and salt into a bowl. Add butter and lard, rubbing mixture together using your fingertips until you get a breadcrumb-like texture. Add milk, a little at a time, bringing the ingredients together into a dough. Cover and allow to rest in the fridge for 30-45 mins.
- 2Lightly flour work surface and roll out the pastry to a circle a little larger than top of the tin, approximately 5mm thick.
- 3Line the tin with pastry, taking care not to have any holes or mixture could leak. Cover and rest for a further 30 mins in the fridge.
- 4Preheat oven to 190°C.
- 5Line pastry case with grease-proof paper, then add baking beans and bake blind for 15 mins, before removing paper and beans.
Filling
- 6Reduce oven to 160°C.
- 7Beat together milk, cream, eggs, tarragon and seasoning.
- 8Scatter half the grated cheese in the blind-baked base, top with chopped spinach and beans, then pour over liquid mixture.
- 9If required, gently give the mixture a delicate stir to ensure filling is evenly dispersed, but be careful not to damage the pastry case.
- 10Sprinkle over remaining cheese. Place in oven and bake for 20-25 mins or until set and lightly golden.
