In a food processor, combine 225 g of strong plain flour and just over half as much chilled butter cut into cubes.

Process until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs.

Add 1 whole egg and 1 tablespoon of water, then process until almost combined.

Flour the surface and rolling pin, then roll out the pastry to the right size.

Fold the pastry gently and place it into the quiche tin, pressing it into the sides to create a fluted edge.

Blind bake the pastry with baking beans, then remove the beans and paper and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes until dry.

In a frying pan, cook 2 finely sliced leeks and 2 chopped celery sticks in olive oil until tender.

Spread the cooked leeks and celery evenly in the pastry case.

Top with grated Stilton cheese and a sprinkling of fresh parsley.

In a bowl, whisk together 4 eggs, 450 ml of double cream, salt, and black pepper to make the custard.

Pour the custard mixture over the filling, ensuring it reaches the corners.

Bake in a slightly cooler oven at 160°C fan until the filling is just set.
