The Coronation Quiche

I looked at the recipe - it’s ok but there are quiche recipes I much prefer

Not sure I fancy that at all. I’d be unsure about putting ‘lightly cooked’ spinach in it, as would it not still give off a fair bit of liquid? And I like broad beans but not in a quiche! I will stick to my favourite hot smoked salmon and asparagus quiche with a light sprinkling of dill.

Agreed it looks OK. But it's hard to get excited about a quiche

That sounds much more special - and asparagus is in season too .

Can't stand broad beans so it's no good for me. Classic quiche for me too Foxygloves and I love Coronation chicken.

And only two eggs? Hmm!

I hate broad beans.

That sounds good, Greyduster, do you have a recipe please?

No broad beans for me thank you. Otherwise it's ok and I might try it, sort of adapting it a bit.

Perhaps they thought that people might start complaining about the cost of eggs today, only the royals can afford more than two eggs, it's all right for them, they probably have their own hens, chunter, chunter 🐓

It sounds okay to me - but only okay. I do love a homemade quiche and make my own quite often, but I can think of much tastier mixtures. I think I'd add some salmon if I was making it.

An item about it has just made it onto the French lunchtime news.... The vox pop from London didn't sound very enthusiastic!

What is it ? We haven’t heard of it here. I’ll be getting in a nice bottle of red and some fancy cheese and bikkies for the night time marathon that it will be over here. I was going to get a few of us together but it is half way through the night for us I believe and I can’t face having very late visitors and being polite all night and ,unsociable as we are, we don’t want overnight visitors,either. Nope, we’ll just snuggle up in our dressing gowns and drink in all the pageantry. It better be good!

I like my quiche crust less and from M&S .

I'll give it a go... Probably get my twist on it.
I made the Trifle last year.. Never again!

Thanks Mamie. I like a nice quiche though usually at least 6 eggs and ham or bacon.

Using hot smoked salmon takes the blandness out of it that you often get with salmon quiches. It’s adds another layer of flavour. Callistemon I line a nine inch flan case with shortcrust pastry and bake blind in the usual manner. Whisk three large eggs and make up to three quarters of a pint with half milk and half cream and sprinkle in quarter of a teaspoon of celery salt optional. Lightly steam the asparagus and keep some whole lengths for the top. Chop up the rest. Flake the salmon and put in the flan case with asparagus cut into small pieces. Pour over the egg mixture and a little finely chopped dill. Lay the whole pieces of asparagus on top in a spoke effect. Bake for thirty five minutes at 180C (160 fan) or until the top is set.

I'll stick to late Queen's chicken.

We can get lovely ones in our local charcuteries and boulangeries (I do make them, but mostly I think why would I bother). Because this is Normandy there are a lot of variations on camembert and lardons which I love.
We went on holiday to Lorraine a couple of years ago and couldn't find quiches anywhere. Weird.

Doesn't sound like a recipe any of our family would like.

I'll stick with my own - no eggs, no dairy and delicious.

I’d eat it. As I’m not a fan of salmon, my choice would be leek and smoked haddock.

Bet it's not gf!!

We are ordering afternoon tea so will cope with that. Xx

I would make the pastry don’t like packet stuff I would replace the beans with green beans or peas.

Sounds a much better plan Greyduster. Thank you.
