TURKEY AND CHEDDAR QUICHE

Steps:

• Pulse together the flour, sugar and salt in a food processor fitted with a metal blade. Add about a third of the chilled butter cubes and process until the butter is absorbed. Add the remaining butter and pulse until the butter is the size of peas, 5 or 6 pulses. Add the vinegar. Then, pulsing quickly a few times as you do it, add the ice water through the tube. Squeeze some dough between your fingers, it should just hold its shape without feeling wet. If it is crumbly, add more ice water a tablespoon at a time. Pulse quickly and take care not to overwork or the dough will be tough. Wrap the dough loosely in a large piece of plastic wrap, then firmly press and flatten the dough into a thin round. Refrigerate for 1 hour.
• Lightly flour a work surface, then roll the dough into an 11- to 12-inch round, about 1/8 inch thick. Center the dough in a 9-inch pie plate, with an even overhang all around. Fold the edges and flute or crimp. Chill for at least 30 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Press a piece of foil over the chilled crust, then fill with pie weights, raw beans or rice. Bake to set the crust, about 20 minutes. Remove the foil and weights and bake until the crust is light brown, 5 to 10 minutes more. Let cool slightly before adding the filling.
• Sprinkle the scallions evenly into the crust. Combine the turkey with the Cheddar and sprinkle it in an even layer over the scallions.
• Whisk together the heavy cream, eggs, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a bowl. Stir in the dill.
• Pour the custard over the filling. Lower the oven temperature to 350 degrees F and bake until set, 35 to 50 minutes. Let cool at least 30 minutes before serving warm or at room temperature.

MINI QUICHES

Steps:

• Roll the pastry out onto a lightly floured work surface until very thin. Cut out circles that are 1cm larger in diameter than the tartlet tins. Line the tins with the pastry circles (you may need to bake these in batches if you do not have enough tins) pressing into the edges and up the sides. Re-roll any pastry offcuts until you've lined all the tins, then chill for 30 mins (if you're baking in batches, chill the off-cuts too).
• Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Line each pastry case with a piece of foil and fill with baking beans or uncooked rice. Bake for 10 mins, then lift out the foil and beans and bake for another 5 mins. Meanwhile, fry the bacon in a little oil until crisp.
• Divide the bacon and half the cheese between the cases. Beat the eggs and cream together, then pour over the bacon and cheese until the cases are almost full. Scatter over the remaining cheese. Bake for 20-25 mins until golden and puffed up. Leave to cool, then chill before serving. Can be made a day ahead.

MINI QUICHES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Place twenty-four 2 1/2-inch mini tart pans on a wire rack set in a rimmed baking sheet and spray with nonstick cooking spray.
• In a food processor, combine the flour and a good pinch of salt and pulse to combine. Add the butter and pulse until the mixture resembles sand. Transfer to a medium bowl then slowly drizzle in enough of the ice water, folding with a wooden spoon, until the water is incorporated and a shaggy dough forms-all the water may not be needed; be careful not to overwork the dough. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured work surface and form into a disc. Roll the dough to 1/4 inch thick and use a 3-inch round cutter to cut out 24 discs. Lay 1 disc in each prepared tart pan, pressing the dough firmly into the bottom and up the sides. Transfer to the freezer to firm up, about 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, heat a medium nonstick skillet over medium heat and add the bacon. Cook, stirring frequently, until browned and crispy, 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer the bacon to a paper towel-lined tray to cool for 5 minutes.
• In another medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, 1/2 cup of the crème fraîche and a pinch each of salt and white pepper. Transfer to a liquid measuring cup for easy pouring.
• To assemble: Put a teaspoon of the bacon bits and a teaspoon of the fontina in the bottom of each tart shell. Top with a sprinkle of chives. You will have some bacon leftover to use as garnish. Pour the custard evenly into the tart shells and bake until the quiches are puffed and the crust is golden brown, about 35 minutes. Rotate the pan 180 degrees halfway through baking. Remove from the oven and immediately remove the quiches from the tart pans to cool on a wire rack. This will ensure a crisp crust.
• Meanwhile, in a third medium bowl, combine the cream cheese, the remaining 1/2 cup crème fraîche and a pinch each of salt and white pepper. Whip with a hand mixer until light and airy, about 2 minutes. Dollop onto the cooled quiches and sprinkle with the remaining bacon bits and chives.
