    Prepare the dough by combining flour, egg, butter, salt, and 1-2 tablespoons of water; knead gently until a smooth dough forms.
  2. 2
    Wrap the dough and refrigerate for 60 minutes to allow the butter to firm up and the gluten to relax.

  4. 4
    Blanch the carrot slices in 1/2 cup of instant meat broth for 6-8 minutes, then drain in a colander and let cool.

    Preheat your oven to 220ðC (425ðF).
  6. 6
    Roll out the chilled dough into a circle large enough to fit your quiche pan and press it into the pan, ensuring the rim is well-defined.
  7. 7
    Prick the bottom of the dough multiple times with a fork, cover with wax paper, and fill with dry beans to blind bake.
  8. 8
    Bake the crust for 10 minutes, then remove the wax paper and beans.
  9. 9
    Arrange the thin carrot slices in the bottom of the partially baked crust and place the halved carrots on top in a star pattern.
  10. 10
    Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of chopped parsley over the carrots.
  11. 11
    In a bowl, whisk together 9 oz of whipping cream, 8 oz of grated Edam cheese, salt, pepper, and 1 teaspoon of ground coriander.
  12. 12
    Pour the custard mixture evenly over the carrots in the crust.
  13. 13
    Roll 4 thin slices of Canadian Bacon into small rolls and place them between the carrot stars in the filling.
  14. 14
    Reduce oven temperature to 200ðC (400ðF) and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the custard is set and golden.
  15. 15
    Sprinkle the remaining chopped parsley over the top and serve warm.
