Steps

1
Rub the butter into the flour, bind with the yolk and ice water, and chill the pastry 1 hour.
2
Roll out and line a 23 cm tin, leaving the pastry overhanging the rim. Chill again 30 minutes.
3
Blind bake at 190°C for 15 minutes with baking beans, then 8 minutes more without, until the base is dry and sandy. A pale, underbaked base is the classic quiche failure.
4
Trim the overhang with a knife only once baked.
5
Render the lardons until golden and drain them well.
6
Whisk the eggs with the cream, milk, nutmeg and pepper. Season lightly with salt — the bacon brings salt.
7
Scatter the lardons in the case, pour the custard around them and bake at 160°C for 30-35 minutes until barely set with a slight wobble.
8
Cool at least 20 minutes before cutting; quiche is best warm, not hot.
