Method

For the Quiche: 

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).

3. Prepare the Filling: 

Option 1: Slice and caramelize the onions and cook the lardo until crisp. 

Option 2: Slice and cook the leeks until browned, sauté the spinach, and crumble the goat cheese. 

4. Prepare the Filling Mixture: In a bowl, whisk together the cream and eggs until smooth. Add the prepared filling ingredients. Season with salt and pepper to taste. 

5. Assemble and Bake: Pour the filling mixture into the pre-baked pie crust. Bake for about 35 minutes, or until the quiche is lightly golden and set in the center. 

6. Rest and Serve: Allow the quiche to rest for about 10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature. 

 

For the salad: 

1. Wash and dry the different leaves. Place in a salad bowl. 

2. In a small bowl, whisk together mustard, oil, rose vinegar, Nordic shoyu or Mushroom garum, and honey. Season to taste.
