Method
- Roll out the pastry to about 1/2 cm thick and line a greased flan dish (About 10 inches in diameter). Trim off any excess pastry (the trimmings can be re rolled and used in things like Sausage Rolls. Try mixing in a little Stokes Chilli Jam in the filling!)
- Allow to rest in the fridge for at least 10 minutes.
- Cover the pastry with greaseproof and fill with ceramic baking beans. Bake Blind for 15 mins on a medium oven (160 C) until the pastry starts to crisp slightly. Remove from the oven and allow to cool.
- Oil & season the Chicken thighs and roast in a hot oven (180 C) until cooked through and allow to cool.
- Add a dash of oil to a frying pan and cook the onion until soft, add the spinach and the chopped asparagus spears. Cook for 2-3 minutes and set aside.
- Crack the eggs and mix with the milk, cream, Salt & Pepper and the Coronation Sauce.
- Chop the Chicken and then add to the quiche base followed by the cooked onion, asparagus and spinach and then add the cheese.
- Pour over the Quiche mix and fill level. Bake in a medium oven (160 c) for 15-20 minutes until the quiche has set. Remove from the oven and allow to cool.
