Pastry

Mix the flour and salt in a bowl. Add the butter and rub together using your hands to form an even, crumbly mixture. Whisk the eggs and water, quickly combine to form a dough (do not knead). Flatten the dough, cover and chill for approx. 30 mins.

To roll out the pastry

On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough into a circle (approx. 32 cm in diameter), place in the prepared tin. Trim the dough around the edge to neaten, or fold it inwards. Prick the base firmly with a fork, cover with baking paper, weigh down with dried pulses.

To blind bake

Approx. 15 mins. in the centre of an oven preheated to 200 °C. Remove from the oven, remove the baking paper and pulses, bake the base for a further 5 mins. Take out of the oven.

Filling

Cut the tips (approx. 7 cm) off half of the asparagus and set aside for the garnish, then slice the remaining asparagus into approx. 2 cm pieces. Place the eggs in a bowl along with all the other ingredients up to and including the pepper, mix well. Mix in the asparagus pieces, pour the mixture into the pastry base. Top with the reserved asparagus tips.

To bake

Approx. 40 mins. in the centre of the oven. Remove, allow to cool slightly. Carefully remove the quiche from the tin, serve warm.
