Next Saturday, May 6, can you get in tune with the coronation of King Charles III and simmer the famous coronation quiche, the recipe for which was sketched out by the Crown communication service? Like many English people, put this symbolic dish on the Saturday menu, a way of “bringing neighbors and communities together”of “celebrate the coronation and share friendship, food and fun”.
The little details that matter
To succeed in this quiche royale, the smallest details count. Starting with homemade shortcrust pastry, preferably or failing that, organic, artisanal and 100% pure butter to stick to the environmental convictions of King Charles III.
As for the “of course” vegetable filling, the “coronation quiche” is made up of spinach, broad beans and tarragon, without forgetting a good farmhouse cheddar and whole cream.
Buckingham’s advice
To transform this daily dish into a “royal feast”, here are some tips gleaned directly from the kitchens of Buckingham Palace. You can either butter the pie pan and sprinkle it with flour, or line the pan with parchment paper before laying out your shortcrust pastry. Then, with a fork, prick the bottom of the pie without piercing it, to prevent the dough from swelling during cooking. Brush the bottom of the pie with beaten egg white. This will prevent the pastry base from softening with the vegetable filling.
Preheat the oven, a good twenty minutes before putting the pie in the oven and above all, let the quiche cool down on a wire rack so that the dough remains crispy and the humidity does not concentrate in the baking dish.
To your molds and rolls! God save the King!

Recipe
► Coronation Quiche
The coronation quiche / Emmanuel Auger
For 6 persons
200g shortcrust pastry
140g whole heavy cream
2 whole eggs + 1 white
6 sprigs of tarragon
2 handfuls of spinach
1 filet d’huile d‘olive
100 g farmhouse cheddar
80 g shelled cooked broad beans
Fine salt and ground pepper
Wash the spinach and remove the midrib. In a frying pan, with the olive oil, sear the spinach leaves over high heat then drain them. Grate the cheddar and thin the sprigs of tarragon.
Spread the shortcrust pastry in a parchment-lined pie pan. Prick the bottom of the pastry with a fork and brush it with the lightly beaten egg white. Preheat the oven to 180°C. In a salad bowl, mix the eggs with the cheddar, the tarragon leaves, the coarsely chopped spinach and the cooked broad beans. Add the fresh cream, salt, pepper and mix vigorously.
Garnish the bottom of the dough with the cheddar vegetable preparation. Bake for 35 minutes at 180°C. Enjoy warm with a salad while toasting the reign of Charles III.
