Method

Tap a step once you've finished it.

Mix the flour with the salt, add the cold butter and quickly rub it in with your fingertips until crumbly.
Add the egg yolk and just enough iced water for the pastry to come together — no need to knead. Shape it into a flat disc, wrap in cling film and chill for 30 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 190 °C. Roll the pastry out 3 mm thick, lay it in a buttered 24 cm tart tin, turn up the edges and prick the base with a fork.
Cover with baking paper, fill with dried beans or baking beads and blind-bake for 15 minutes; remove the paper and beans and bake for another 5 minutes until the base is pale golden.
Meanwhile, fry the bacon in a dry frying pan over medium heat for 5-6 minutes until crisp, and drain on kitchen paper.
Whisk the eggs with the cream and milk until smooth, season carefully with salt (the bacon is salty), pepper and nutmeg.
Turn the oven down to 180 °C. Scatter the bacon and cheese over the pre-baked pastry, then pour over the egg mixture.
Bake for 30-35 minutes until the filling has set (the centre just barely wobbles) and the top is golden.
Leave to cool for 10-15 minutes so it can be sliced. Serve lukewarm or at room temperature with a green salad.
