Ingredients

250 g flour
125 g cold butter
1 egg yolk
3 tbsp iced water
200 g bacon or ham
3 eggs
300 ml cream
100 g gruyère
Nutmeg, salt, black pepper

Instructions

Rub the flour and cold butter to breadcrumbs, then bring together with the yolk and iced water.
Wrap and chill for 30 minutes.
Line the tin, cover with paper and beans and blind-bake at 180°C for 15 minutes — this is what stops a soggy base.
Fry the bacon and drain off the fat.
Whisk the eggs, cream, nutmeg and seasoning.
Scatter the bacon and cheese over the base and pour the custard in.
Bake at 180°C for 30 minutes, until barely set in the middle.
