The Roquefort and walnut quiche is a first course for lovers of French cheese: strong blue-cheese, creamy filling with crunchy walnuts. Adding pear gives a sweet contrast. Ideal with a salad and a glass of wine.
Quickly knead the pastry ingredients and rest in the fridge, wrapped, for 30 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 190 °C (fan oven 175 °C). Roll out the pastry, line a 24 cm tart tin, prick with a fork and blind-bake with parchment and dried beans for 12 minutes.
Remove the paper and beans and bake 5 more minutes.
Whisk the eggs with the cream, milk, nutmeg and pepper (little or no salt, since Roquefort is salty).
Scatter most of the Roquefort and the walnuts (and pear slices if using) over the pastry, pour over the egg mixture and top with the remaining cheese.
Bake at 180 °C for 30-35 minutes until set and golden. Rest 10 minutes before slicing.
