Ingredients

225 (8oz) plain flour, plus extra to dust
75 (3oz) butter, cut into pieces
125 (4oz) spinach
200 (7fl oz) crème fraîche
2 medium eggs, beaten
100 (31⁄2oz) smoked salmon trimmings
25 (1oz) Parmesan cheese

Directions

1. Step 1
  Preheat the oven to 200°C (180°C fan oven) mark 6. Put a baking sheet in the oven. For the pastry, put the flour, butter and a pinch of salt into a food processor. Whiz briefly until it resembles breadcrumbs. Add 3-4tbsp cold water and whiz briefly again to form a soft dough.
2. Step 2
  Roll out on a surface lightly dusted with flour until large enough to line a 23cm (9in) fluted flan tin. Press into the tin, prick the base with a fork and chill for 30min. Line with greaseproof paper and fill with baking beans. Put on the hot baking sheet and bake for 10min. Remove the paper and beans, and bake for a further 10-15min.
3. Step 3
  Meanwhile, wilt the spinach leaves in a pan with a little boiling water for 1min. Refresh under cold water and drain well. Put into a large bowl and add the crème fraîche, eggs and the smoked salmon. Season and stir well. Spoon into the pastry case. Grate over the Parmesan and bake for 25min until set and golden. Serve with baked potatoes and salad.
