Quiche Please

Recommended Posts

I've been making my own - Waitrose do a yummy butternut squash one that I wanted to copy so I just baked the squash, pureed it and then added three beaten eggs and a bit of cream, and some caramelised onions on top, that one was lovely.

 

I did spinach and red pepper last week - same thing, cooked the veg, pureed them with a hand blender and then spread them in swirls in the pastry case and poured the egg-and-milk over them.

 

I can't make pastry so I use 'food-processor pastry'. Take 2 oz very cold butter, 4 oz flour, and whizz it in a food processor till it's in fine crumbs. Press it into the flan tin, and chill for 30 minutes before baking.

Another nice one is with prawns and watercress. If you make your own pastry either by hand or in a processor add the zest of a lemon to the pastry mix. Scatter the pastry case with some prawns. Fry some chopped onion and add a handful of whizzed up watercress for the last few seconds add to the egg and cream mix before pouring into case.
