Grease a 28cm round pie dish with butter.

Stack pastry sheets together and fold into quarters. Use a rolling pin, roll out the pastry to a large circle that is slightly larger than your pie dish. Carefully fit the pastry into the pie dish, so the pastry sits flat on the base, into the corners, up the sides and over the edges. Trim overhanging pastry with a sharp knife to tidy up edges.

Top Tips
If using small eggs, bump quantity up to 6 eggs.
The quiche will rise while baking so to avoid overflow in the oven, the filling should sit about 2 cm below the rim. Consider sitting dish on a tray in the oven the first time you make it just in case.
Rolling out your pastry on a sheet of baking paper makes transferring to your dish so much easier!
Green beans can be swapped for asparagus.
This dish can be enjoyed hot or cold - perfect for a breakfast, lunch, light dinner, the lunch box, or picnic.
