Trout Quiche recipe how best to serve hot, let it go cold, cold, lentils/baking beans

[NinaProudman2022]

A friend gave me this recipe and I am going to try it today for a lunch guest. I don’t have any baking beans so was going to try red lentils and grease proof paper (what sort of quantity of lentils do I need please). Also at what temperature would you serve this quiche please?
Thanks

I never bother with baking beans, just follow Delia who pricked flan case all over with a fork and precooked it foe about 5 mins brushed with egg before adding filling. I would serve this just warm as it settles with cooling. Sounds delicious

It is lovely a friend made this for a few of us as a pre christmas ladies get together about three or four Christmases ago for a nice lunch and served it with salad.

Does this look right. I used the lentils but the pastry has still risen? X

Ahh, id forgotten about this. Yes , that looks fine. Home made quiches always a million times better fhan bought

Next time you cook a pastry case, line the pastry so it overhangs to edge by a cm or two during the baking then trim once cooked, will mean there's spare for any shrinkage. It's a Jamie Oliver tip not mine I admit. Rice works well instead of baking beans and can still be cooked afterwards for zero waste
