Dads Favourite Stilton Quiche - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    7 ounces shortcrust pastry
    2 1/2 ounces Stilton cheese, crumbled
    3 spring onions, chopped finely (scallions)
    1 large free-range egg
    65 ml single cream
    1 teaspoon sunflower oil
    1/4 teaspoon mustard powder
    flour, for dusting
    salt & pepper
Preparation
    Preheat the oven to 180\u00b0C/gas 5. Divide the pastry into 2 and roll each out to make 15cm rounds on a floured surface. Line 2 12cm quiche tins or pie dishes and prick the bases with a fork.
    Put on a baking tray and blind bake for 10 minutes (loosely scrunch up tin foil and place over pastry). Remove the foil, turn oven down to 175c & return to oven for 5 more minutes.
    Gently fry spring onions for 2-3 minutes Place half in each tin. Sprinkle half of the Stilton into each tin. Whisk egg, cream, salt and pepper in a jug and pour over the Stilton.
    Return to oven and resume cooking for a further 20 minutes or until quiche is set and lightly golden on the top.
    Serve warm or cold with salad.
