PUT TO THE TEST

My Weekly writer Susan is set up for lunches for the week!

The pastry was fairly easy to make – although it required a tiny bit more water than the recipe – and resulted in a nice crisp, buttery base for my quiche. I didn’t have baking beans to blind bake the pastry, so instead used a piece of scrunched up foil, as suggested by Sue. I hadn’t heard of this method of blind baking before but it did the job nicely. The filling was quick and easy to make and the end result was a really flavoursome quiche, full of a generous quantity of bacon and spring onions.
