  • Preheat the oven to 200C / 180C Fan. Unroll the shortcrust party and use to line a 23cm loose bottomed flan tin and chill for 15 minutes. Prick the base with a fork and line with baking paper, fill with baking beans. Place on a baking tray and bake for 20 minutes, remove the parchment and beans and return to the oven for 5 minutes until the base is cooked. Allow to cool slightly.

​

  • Reduce the oven temperature to 180C / 160C Fan.

​

  • Brush the base of the pastry case with the English mustard, scatter over the cheddar, ham hock, and the sliced gherkins.

​

  • Beat together the double cream, milk, eggs, chives and season well. Pour the mixture over the cheese and ham mix and return to the oven and bake for 30-35 minutes until just set. Remove from the oven and allow to cool in the tin before removing. Cut into wedges and serve.
