Hi continuing the courgette recipe collection- my mum-in -law gave me this recipe. It is a cross between an quiche and a frittata. Hope you like it!

 

My mum in laws crustless courgette quiche recipe

 

3 cups courgette grated

1/2 cup oil

1/2 cup finely chopped onion

1 cup grated cheese

4 eggs

1 cup scone mix ( supermarket mix or I use delias scone mix see below)

mixed herbs ( if wanted)

salt and pepper

 

delias scone mix:

 

4oz SR flour

1/2oz milk powder

1 dessertspoon sugar ( can reduce if wanted)

pinch salt

 

 

Mix everything together and put into flan dish

Bake at 160 degrees C ( circotherm) for 50 mins ( or until golden and set- do keep an eye on it as I made it last week and it didnt take as long- I would check after 35mins onwards) . This makes a large quiche or two small ones (in which case the cooking time needs to be reduced)

 

Will freeze!

So, you mix the scone mix in as well?

[henny penny]

Yep you add 1 cup of the scone mix to the rest of the ingredients and mix together before putting in the flan dish. This flan doesnt have a pastry base- its more like a frittata.

 

I used to use an american scone mix from the supermarket- it made the flan very sweet. and i never had it in the cupboard when I needed it so I started making my own which works just as well!

 

I think my original recipe suggested parsley and mint herbs but I made it recently with the mint but felt the aftertaste was a bit little toothpaste- so not a good one!

I'll give the toothpaste flavour a miss I think!
