Coronation Quiche
This is the perfect recipe if you’re getting involved in the King’s celebrations. This is a recipe that will be eaten by the King himself during his Big Lunch 👑
The ingredients for the pastry include; 125g of plain flour, a pinch of salt, 25g of diced cold butter, 25g of lard, 2 tbsp of milk.

- Line the tin with the pastry and then cover it and rest it in the fridge for a further 30 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 190°C, line the tin with greaseproof paper, adding baking beans and bake blind for 15 minutes.
- Reduce the oven temperature to 160°C and beat together the milk, cream, eggs, herbs and seasonings.
- Sprinkle the grated cheese in the blind-baked base and top with the chopped spinach, beans and herbs and then pour over the liquid mixture.
- Evenly stir the mixture, being careful not to damage the pastry case.
- Lastly, sprinkle the remaining cheese on top and place the quiche into the oven for 20-25 minutes until set and lightly golden. And now it is ready to serve!
