  • 400g self raising flour, plus extra for flouring the bench
  • Ice cold water, as needed
  • Pinch of salt

Filling: 

  • 2 cups  honey boneless ham, chopped
  • 1 courgette, peeled in ribbons
  • 1 bunch broccolini or asparagus, ends trimmed
  • 5 eggs

  • 3 tbsp basil pesto with roasted pine nuts

  • Salt and pepper

To serve:

METHOD

  1. Preheat the oven to 200°C.
  2. For the avocado pastry: Add mashed avocado to a large bowl with flour and salt. Add cold water, a tablespoon at a time, until a dough forms. Turn out onto a floured surface and knead well. Wrap in clingfilm then rest for 15 minutes in the freezer.
  3. Grease and line a 26cm quiche tin. Roll out pastry to the size of your quiche tin, then lift in and press down. Prick pastry with a fork all over, then bake for 10 minutes.
  4. Turn the oven down to 170°C. In a large bowl whisk together eggs, cream and a generous amount of salt and pepper. Stir in pesto. Scatter ham, prepared vegetables and feta over the pre baked quiche pastry. Pour over egg mixture. 
  5. Bake quiche for 40 minutes, or until the quiche pastry is golden and the filling cooked through. 
  6. Scatter with basil leaves and serve.
