Sift the flour into a bowl

Rub the butter or margarine into the flour, until it looks like breadcrumbs

Add 2 tablespoons of water and stir

Try to bring the pastry together with your fingers, adding more water if necessary, but just a drop at a time

Only work the dough enough to bring it all together and then stop

Place the dough in a polythene bag put it in the fridge for at least 30 minutes to 'rest'.

Roll out the pastry

Grease a cake tin or flan dish

Gently trim of off any excess

If you have time - bake blind for 10-25 minutes (see video above). Cut a round of greaseproof paper to size and fill with baking beans or dried beans. Place in a preheated oven for 10-15 minutes. Carefully remove sheet and beans.

Pre-heat the oven to 180 degrees C

Arrange the onion pieces in the bottom of the flan

Place the cheese on top of the onion

Beat the eggs and mix in with the milk

Slice your large tomato into 4 to 6 sliced and arrange on top or halve the cherry tomatoes

Place in the oven for about 45 minutes until set. NB The quiche can look done after only 20 minutes or so but don't be tempted to take it out too early or the middle will still be quite soft. If it is getting too brown on top, just turn down the oven a little.

Allow to cool slightly before serving

Delicious hot or cold with baked potato and salad
