Published on 02 October 2022
This green bean, pea and feta quiche from our friends at Picard is full of fresh flavours and bright colours. Vibrant green beans and sweet peas are complemented by salty feta and fragrant dill and chives. It’s a surprisingly low-fuss quiche recipe thanks to Picard’s ready-rolled all-butter shortcrust pastry, ready-chopped garlic and frozen peas and green beans. Delicious served warm or cold, this quiche makes a lovely outdoor lunch paired with a green salad.Time and servings

In a large mixing bowl, combine the crème fraîche, milk, eggs, lemon zest, dill, and 1 tbsp of the chives. Season with salt and coarse ground black pepper.Step 5
Roll out the shortcrust pastry and carefully line a 30cm round tart tin with it. Prick the pastry base all over with a fork.Step 6
Arrange the green beans and peas in the tart case. Crumble 60g of the feta over the vegetables, carefully pour in the egg mixture, then bake for 35-40 mins in the oven until set but with a slight wobble in the centre of the quiche remaining.Step 7
