  1. Salt to taste Tomato slices (opt) Italian parsley sprigs (opt) Preheat oven to 400'F. (205'C.). In a bowl, combine flour, salt and chili seasoning. Cut in margarine and lard until mixture resembles bread crumbs. Add cheese and mix well. Stir in cold water and mix to form a fairly firm dough. Knead gently on a floured surface and roll out pastry.

Spoon mixture into flan shell. Whisk eggs, half-and-half, mustard, cayenne and salt. Pour into flan shell. Bake 30-35 minutes or until set and lightly golden. Garnish with tomato and parsley, if desired, and serve warm or cold.
