Mirabeau Recipe: Fig, Walnut and Lardon Quiche
Figs are versatile fruits that pair well with savoury and/or sweet combinations. This seasonal quiche combines the sweetness of fresh figs with a bit of salt from the lardons to create an irresistible combination. The recipe is brought to you by the folks at Mirabeau Wine.
Fig, Walnut and Lardon Quiche
I love to make seasonal quiches, as there’s always a nice combination that will work. Figs are lovely with nuts, so you can make a very tasty number with some crushed almonds or walnuts, figs and some lardons for extra taste.
Ingredients
- 1 roll all butter short pastry Pâte brisee in France
- 4 large eggs
- 1/2 small tub crème fraîche
- 3-4 fresh figs
- 1 handful crushed walnuts or raw almonds
- 1 handful lardons or bacon (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C) degrees.
- Line a large pie dish with the short pastry (it's best to keep the nonstick paper that comes with it under the pie).
- Make a nice and firm border to hold your quiche mixture later on.
- Blind bake for 10 minutes to make sure you have a crisp result (weigh the pastry down with some baking paper and dried beans).
- In the meantime, add 4 eggs and crème fraiche to a mixing bowl and scramble until you have a nicely uniform mixture.
- Add the crushed nuts, lardons and figs and turn over very gently.
- Season generously with salt and pepper.
- Fill the pastry shell with the mixture and return it to the oven for another 20 minutes, until the mixture is firm and the shell is golden brown.
- Serve with a fresh green salad.

Basic Quiche
You can take this foundational recipe in almost limitless flavour directions. It provides you with the cornerstones of a successful quiche: a flaky crust and a creamy filling. This crust can also be used for making fruit tarts and rustic galettes. For the filling, only use heavy cream; milk has the potential to curdle when it cooks.
