Strawberry & British
asparagus quiches
SERVES 6
1 tbsp flour for dusting
250g (9oz) ready-to-roll puff pastry
1 large free-range egg, whisked, for
glazing
75g (2¾oz) asparagus tips
150g (5½oz) BerryWorld
strawberries, washed and halved
4 tbsp crème fraîche
2 large free-range eggs, plus
1 extra yolk
10 crushed pink peppercorns
50g (1¾oz) Parmigiano cheese, grated
salt and black pepper
1 Preheat the oven to 200°C/Gas Mark
6 and line a baking tray with baking paper.
2 On a floured surface, roll out the puff
pastry to fit the baking tray and use a knife
to score a 2cm (¾in) border around the
edge – do not cut all the way through.
3 Prick the pastry all over inside the
border, brush with the egg mixture and
bake for 12-15 minutes. Remove, push
down the base inside the border and set
aside to cool.
4 In a bowl, mix the crème fraîche, eggs
and yolk and the Parmesan together,
lightly season, then empty the filling onto
the chilled pastry, ensuring that none
goes over the border.
5 Arrange the asparagus and strawberries
over the mixture. Using a pastry brush,
cover the border with the egg mix and
gently brush the asparagus and berries.
Sprinkle with the crushed peppercorns.
6 Bake for 20 -25 minutes until the pastry
By BerryWorld (www.berryworld.com) is golden brown and the filling is cooked.
