which is, of course, in Almansa and the first course was "quiche lorraine" which although it may sound a bit French is a very popular dish in Scotland, for lunch, for tea, for picnics. So here you have the recipe, care of M&S (my recipe book from over 30 years ago...)
Ingredients
100-175 unsmoked streaky bacon, rinds removed and chopped
shortcrust pastry flan case
2 whole eggs
2 egg yokes
150 ml. fresh single cream
approx. 150 ml. milk
salt and freshly ground black pepper
50 g. Gruyère cheese, grated
Fry the bacon over gentle heat in a small frying pan until the fat runs and the bacon becomes golden-brown. Put the bacon in the flan case. Beat the whole eggs, egg yolks and cream together lightly in a bowl and pour over the bacon. Stir in enough milk almost to fill the case. Season to taste with salt and pepper and sprinkle with the grated Gruyère.
Bake in a fairly hot oven (190ºC) for 25 to 30 minutes or until the filling is set and the pastry is golden. Remove from the oven and leave to rest for 10 minutes.
Serve with salad, baked beans, corn....
And if you don't feel like making a quiche, just go to Tesco's, Morrison's or M&S and buy one there. You can eat them hot or cold...
