My grand-mother used to make what she called bacon and egg pie. It also contained cheese. It would be called a flan these days. It certainly was very tasty when i was a child.

A wee tip or two from a chef. When using cooked spinach let it cool and then squeeze all the water out of it otherwise it is very liquid and dilutes your mixture. 1ml of milk weighs 1g so zero your scales and add the liquid to your ingredients. It’s more accurate and cuts down on washing up. Chop tarragon and mix with butter, then when roasting chicken lift the skin on the chicken breast with your finger and put the tarragon butter under the skin. Then roast your chicken and it keeps it moist and adds flavour. Keep up the cooking vids.

👑 I got up in the wee hours of the morning (7 hours behind) to watch the coronation. Worth it!

A 23cm flan ring/tin is usually the right size for the pre-rolled pastry sheets. Leaving a bit of excess around the edges allows for some shrinkage and it doesn't brown the edges too much - trim at the end if being scored on 😁 Not a quiche person myself, but the end result looked ok. 5 out of 7 Mounted Canadians

Alanna putting in milk "that's too much, but it's good enough" Alanna takes out quiche: "it looks so wet to me"! Great video, Alanna! "Don't point with knives" - someone should have told Penny Mordaunt.

I love spinach, think it dates back to watching lots of Popeye cartoons as a kid. I always follow the recipes first time round and it is always a complete disaster. After that it's a case of throw in some of that, few handfulls of this, stir it all up, cook it till it looks right then add an extra 10% just in case. An alternative to spinach is young nettle leaves. Just a few moments heat takes all the sting out of them and they are lovely.

Not forgetting to put on gloves to pick them unless one has Asbestos/Iron hands. The oven temps were wrong in that recipe, should have been 180 for the bake and 190 for the blind (hot if using an Aga or other solid fuel range, left to middle of red sector). Typo?

This is the first video I’ve watched where I thought I’m worried for Alanna’s mental health. Not because of the making of the Quiche that looks uncooked but because of the amount of alcohol there appears to be on the Kitchen floor.😊

Another great video from the most beautiful Canadian ever!! One tip would be to wring out the spinach once it is cooked to get rid of the excess moisture. This may be why the filling was a bit soggy.

Looking at other quiche recipes it seems that the Coronation Quiche has either the wrong temperature or the wrong amount of cooking time. One non-coronation recipe I found says to cook the quiche at 160 C for 40 to 45 minutes, while other recipes called for baking for 20-25 minutes with a range of temps from 180 C to 200 C

I love the pile of beers and wine in the background, ready to use so there is no delay - lol

Hey Alanna, you did good for your first attempt, it looked nice 😁. Did you know Tesco and other supermarkets sell ready-made pastry flan bases in a round foil tray ? You can get them in a sweet or savoury variety to just fill and bake or freeze. We used to make our own Cheesecake, Flans, Bakewell Tart, Quiche, and many other items in them for our family parties. I think you'll find them tucked away on the aisle with the bakery ingredients and fancy sprinkle toppings.

I too am chuffed👏. Looked lovely. An awesome job Napster (and much better than my pre bought quorn lattices I ballsed up in the oven yesterday😔). From watching Master Chef, I think it was the moisture from the spinach that made it so wet. You have to drain or press the water out of it after cooking, and before adding to a dish. Many a chef has had waterlogged results because of it😉... Don't point with knives 😁.... 💯

I’ve been watching your channel for years. I feel I overlooked your comedy skills. You are a comedic genius. Maybe it’s the cooking that brings it out. I need to go find your Bakewell video clearly.

Great video Alanna! I too prefer a cold quiche and quiche Lorraine is my fav.

Ahh thanks!! Good luck with your quiche!

Yes, I watched the Coronation - I had friends taking part in it! Speaking of which, a friend of mine made one of these for a watch party he was throwing at his home. He decided to swap the spinach for bacon and the tarragon for rosemary.... I wonder if that made it a Coronation Quiche Lorraine?! The problem with spinach is that it releases a lot of water, so using it in a quiche invites sogginess. It needs a good squeeze before adding to the quiche mixture. Ovens can vary too, so it's absolutely fine to tweak the cooking time and judge 'done-ness' by sight. Will it catch on the way Coronation Chicken did? At least you had a successful go at it, and that does inspire confidence!

Good job mate👍

Well done. Master chef to be sure. Had me smiling all the way through. I love broad beans but I'm with you on anything aniseed-y. Who came up with this recipe? Weird!

Your videos are so much fun! I’ve never had occasion to use tarragon (I’m not exactly adventurous when cooking although I do make a mean Sunday roast with all the trimmings). Spinach I can take or leave (mostly leave). And there’s simply no excuse at all for broad beans… 🤢

Great video!

Great stuff Alanna 💯 I despise aniseed too ...and agree with you about Quiche Lorraine I'm no expert, having never cooked one but I guess the sloopyness was from the large amount of milk and cream - I would have just used more eggs

With the spinach you want to wring it out to get the excess water out after you've wilted it. I'd probably bake until I could just see the first signs of gentle browning on the top.

A Quiche? I can't help but think that a Coronation deserves something special. A decent Ruby Murray will be my choice when I am crowned Queen.

It's most likely water from the spinach. It's a good idea to squeeze out some of the water after you have cooked it. I just use my hands. It looked great - I think a slightly moist (sorry) quiche is a good sign that it's home-made. Cheffy tip - If you crunch up the paper into a ball, and then unfurl it, it fits into the edges of the pastry better. Although, it worked fine anyway.

I like the variant of Quiche Lorraine that had onion added to it - I think that's a Quiche D'Alsace.

Hi Alanna! Thank you for the video, I had a lot of fun watching it. May I ask you where did get this black jersey top? Is it a top or a bodysuit?

Well done ! I'd happily neck some of that with a few slices of ham. As you said, it'd likely be nicer chilled, as I recommended with the bread and butter pud recipe I sent you a couple of days ago.

Great to see you back in the kitchen, you are a natural! Why were you wearing welders gloves? ❤😂

1. Yes, I watched the coronation, while eating coronation chicken, followed by a scone with cream & jam 👌 2. Yes, I like spinach. Eating quite a bit of it at the moment - it's the season for spinach! 3. I've made quiche from scratch before and didn't have any trouble with it being too wet. I wonder if the spinach caused you that problem. Might've been worth squeezing as much liquid from the cooked spinach as possible before adding it to the filling. 4. I also prefer quiche cold, from the fridge. Quiche Lorraine is up there, but I actually prefer a broccoli quiche. Maybe for nostalgic reasons 😂 5. Good job for ultimately making something that looked really quite tasty! 👍

What are horrible, horrible cooking videos to Alanna are a special treat to me 😁

Alanna you should do more cookery videos, they are very entertaining. Measurements are extremely important, if you guesstimate, then your results will be very inconsistent. Life’s too short to make pastry! This looks like a legitimate food item! Lol

Your cooking videos are a lot of fun, even if I don't think I'll be trying this one. Agree wholeheartedly about quiche lorraine!

Yep sounds like the wet spinach was the culprit. Oh, and when you asked ‘When the recipe asks for 180g cooked spinach, is that before or after cooking’… well I think the answer’s in your question (hint: 7th word). Well done it looked damn good! 👍✅😎❤️

I made one of these to scoff during the Coronation TV binge watch. It tasted way more interesting than I thought it would. My problem was the pastry stuck to the bottom of the tin, so I had to carve it off, and the dlices then had no structure. I also over filled it so mine leaked too! I ended up cooking it for quite a bit longer than the recipe said. I am making a new one to use up the remaining ingredients this week. I think you added far too much milk........But Bravo! It was a functional edible quiche!!!!

Looks absolutely vile 😆😆😆 Love the video though 🤣

BTW, where did you get the steel workers gloves from? They're mightily impressive...

Hi there Unsolicited helpful hint you will never use: 🥳 Crumple up your parchment paper like an old paper bag and it will lay better in your pan. Just saying

Soooo funny. We cooked the quiche and it was very tasty. I love tarragon though.

I desperately need those oven mitts!! Can you tell me where you got them please!!!

Nice! Quiche was known as flan when I were a lad. I don't mind spinach or aniseed. Broad beans, I opt out of. Yes, Quiche Lorraine is a good one. 😋

Hiya. Tarragon? My 2nd favourite herb. Great with eggs. A Tarragon Omelette? Oh, yes!!! Stay safe. All the best to you. 🌹

That looked pretty good! A friend at work also made it, and it was tasty! Did you squeeze all the water out of the spinach first? That could be why it was more 'liquidy' than you thought. Also, I know it's a faff, but peel broad beans first! The outer skins are horrible.

Great effort Alanna, don't do yourself down! Thought you'd add extra cheese though!🙏🙏

This is the only Coronation content I will consume!

Hi Alanna, thanks for another excellent video. How many times in this video have you said Quiche...hmm...I think I will have t get back to you on that one. Counted about five times so far. I do like spinach, though I just had to use spell check to see how to spell it correctly!!! LOL. You had a leaky Quiche, my brother-in-law managed to make exploding toffee!! So, it could have been far worse. Well done and congratulations on your effort. Now all you need to do is invite King Charles over for dinner!! Don't worry, the king will love it!!! Anyway, wishing you the very best. Rob in Melbourne Australia.

You're the best dish in this video.

I only stopped by long enough to give you a like 👍 I intentionally did not watch the ceremony. To me, he will always just be Charles.

If the pastry doesn't fit the dish get some flour on the board, get the rolling pin out and roll it thinner!

I'm a bit late to the party, but yes, I watched the coronation with the family and we made the coronation quiche and it went down very well. (Except that my sister was in charge of the pastry and she got some godawful gluten free stuff that fell apart as soon as you looked at it.) It was pretty wet though, so I think that's inherent in the recipe and not a problem with the way you made it.

wow yummy😋

I couldn't find broad beans at neither Iceland nor my local Sainsbury's

Great video as always Alanna. First off, I am so glad that you tied your hair back. I can't stand seeing these cooking shows where people have their hair hanging over the food. The hairy bikers are a fine example of that 🤢 I really don't enjoy cooking, all that faffing about. A stir fry is the only thing I cook, quick and easy!! I did laugh out loud when your quiche came out the oven the first time and was still runny 😂 but good on you Alanna for giving it a go, and the end result looked pretty good, way better than what I could do 👍

Hi Alanna,you made the effort,that is the main thing..but given the ingredients i would have stuck with soft boiled eggs with soldiers..YUM.cheers Roly 🇬🇧.
