Steps

  • Combine flour, salt, butter, and lard in a large bowl and rub with fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse breadcrumbs.
  • Stir in enough cold water to bind the dough together using a knife.
  • Wrap the dough in cling film and chill in the fridge for 15 to 30 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 190°C.
  • Roll out the pastry on a floured surface and line a 22cm deep flan tin, allowing edges to overhang.
  • Chill the pastry case in the fridge for at least 15 minutes.
  • Line with parchment and baking beans, then bake for 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Remove beans and parchment, then bake for another 5 minutes before reducing oven to 160°C.
  • Sauté mushrooms in oil for one minute.
  • Whisk eggs, milk, and cream in a jug and season with salt and pepper.
  • Layer cheese and mushrooms in the pastry case, pour over the egg mixture, and sprinkle with thyme.
  • Bake for 40 to 45 minutes until the filling is set.
  • Cool the quiche and trim the overhanging pastry edges.
  • Griddle the spring onions in two tablespoons of olive oil until charred.
  • Whisk remaining olive oil, mustard, and vinegar to create a dressing.
  • Toss spring onions, salmon, and watercress with the dressing and serve with quiche slices.
