Fig Walnut and Lardon Quiche Recipe Maison Mirabeau Wine

Fig, Walnut and Lardon Quiche

Maison Mirabeau Wine
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.
