Method

First, make pastry for the flan base. or cheese pastry in Edmonds book. (I do have a copy of the classic Edmond’s cookbook floating around somewhere, I will dig it out sometime and copy the cheese pastry recipe in here.)

Chop bacon and fry lightly in own fat.

Beat together eggs, milk & seasonings. Add cooked bacon & cheese.

Carefully pour into flan base. Decorate with asparagus.

Bake 220°C for 10 minutes then at 180°C for 25-30 minutes til filling is set.
