Directions

For the pastry

1To prepare the easy mini quiche recipe start putting the flour in a mixing bowl and stir in the salt. Rub in the butter until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs. Break the egg into the middle and knead to a dough with your hands and form into a ball. Wrap in cling film and chill for about 30 minutes.

For the pastry shells

2Reduce the oven temperature to 180°C (160° fan).

For the filling

1Mix together the cooked and ham, onion, peas, chives and garlic. Whisk the eggs and stir in the cheese and cream. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Spoon the pea and ham mixture into the pastry cases, pour the cheese and cream mixture over and bake for about 35 minutes until the filling is set.

CHEF’S TIP
