If you’re in the mood to make your own pastry, this shortbread dough, lightly enriched with seeds, will give you an irresistible crunch. No time? Don’t worry, a store-bought pastry will do just as well.

To make this Onion and French Comté Quiche a success, leave the onions to cook over a low heat for around 20 minutes, until they melt and turn a light golden brown. Slow cooking is essential to bring out their natural sweetness.

In terms of storage, assuming you don’t eat the whole thing straight away! You can keep it for 4-5 days in a cool place. Or cut into slices and freeze. To defrost, take it out the day before and let it thaw in the fridge. Or if you’re in a hurry, a trip to the oven at 100°C should do the trick.
