    List of Ingredients




    Alfred Hitchcock's Quiche Lorraine


    ***Tart Pastry***
    2 cups pastry flour
    1/2 cup butter
    1 egg yolk
    Salt
    1/4 cup cold water

    ***Filling***

    1 dash of cayenne pepper
    Light grating of nutmeg
    2 cups hot milk

    Recipe




    Tart Pastry: Work lightly together the pastry flour, butter, egg yolk, a pinch of salt and cold water. Chill the dough for 1 hour, or until needed.

    Roll out half the dough to line the pie pan. Prick randomly with the point of knife and crimp the edge with the tines of a fork. Save remaining pastry for another pie.

    Filling: Scatter diced ham on the crust.

    Sauté sliced onions in butter until they are soft, but not brown; spread over ham.

    In a saucepan, beat four eggs with a good pinch of salt, cayenne and nutmeg. Gradually add hot milk, beating continually with a wire whisk. Continue to beat the mixture over a low fire until the custard begins to thicken. Pour it into the tart shell and bake at 375 degrees F for 30 minutes, or until custard is set and the top is golden.

    Serve hot.
