Dads Favourite Stilton Quiche

My Dad will eat anything with Stilton in it - but he goes CRAZY for these! A really nice take on the regular quiche. You could also make mini quiches for parties etc.

• Ready In: 45 mins
• Serves: 2
• Yields: 2 individual quiches

Ingredients

• 7  ounces  shortcrust pastry
• 2 1⁄2 ounces Stilton cheese, crumbled
• 3  spring onions, chopped finely (scallions)
• 1  large  free-range egg
• 65  ml  single cream
• 1  teaspoon  sunflower oil
• 1⁄4 teaspoon mustard powder
•  flour, for dusting
•  salt & pepper

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 180°C/gas 5. Divide the pastry into 2 and roll each out to make 15cm rounds on a floured surface. Line 2 12cm quiche tins or pie dishes and prick the bases with a fork.
2. Put on a baking tray and blind bake for 10 minutes (loosely scrunch up tin foil and place over pastry). Remove the foil, turn oven down to 175c & return to oven for 5 more minutes.
3. Gently fry spring onions for 2-3 minutes Place half in each tin. Sprinkle half of the Stilton into each tin. Whisk egg, cream, salt and pepper in a jug and pour over the Stilton.

5. Serve warm or cold with salad.
