Method

  1. Step 1

    To make the shortcrust pastry, place the flour and butter in a food processor. Process until mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs. Add the egg yolks with chilled water. Process until mixture just comes together. Turn onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth. Shape into a disc. Wrap in plastic wrap. Place in the fridge for 30 mins to rest.

  2. Step 2

    Turn pastry onto a lightly floured surface and roll to a 3mm-thick disc. Grease a 22cm round fluted tart tin with removable base, then line with the pastry. Use a sharp knife to trim excess pastry. Place in the fridge for 15 mins to rest.

  3. Step 3

    Preheat oven to 200°C. Line pastry with baking paper and fill with pastry weights or rice. Place on a baking tray. Bake for 10 mins. Remove the paper and weights or rice. Bake for a further 8-10 mins or until the pastry is lightly golden in colour. Remove from oven. Reduce oven to 160°C.

  4. Step 4

    Meanwhile, cut 1 bunch of asparagus diagonally into 3cm lengths. Heat oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Add the prosciutto and leek. Cook for 4 mins or until leek softens. Add the asparagus. Cook for 2 mins or until just tender.

  5. Step 5

    Spread the mustard evenly over the base of the pastry. Arrange the leek mixture and fetta over the base. Whisk the egg and cream in a bowl until well combined. Pour over the leek mixture. Bake for 20-25 mins or until just set.

  6. Step 6

    Combine dill, oil and vinegar in a small bowl. Use a vegetable peeler or mandolin to thinly slice the remaining asparagus into ribbons. Add the rocket and vinaigrette and toss to combine. Serve with the quiche.
