Homemade Quiche

Mother loves a bit of quiche and with the aforementioned egg glut in full flow, Sandie challenged her to make a yummy quiche using her recipe. The greatest thing about quiche is you can make it with pretty much what you have lurking in the fridge!

She used the leftover pastry from the Scotch Egg Pasties and rolled out to fit a large flan dish. Line the pastry case with greaseproof paper and add some ceramic baking beans. Bake for 20mins at 180C.

Once cooked you add your chosen quiche fillings. Mum went for some sliced smoked ham and mushrooms....

Some sliced mini plum tomatoes...

And seasoning (paprika and italian herbs) to taste...

Sprinkle a generous layer of grated cheese all over, making sure the whole base is covered.

Mix two eggs with half a pint of semi-skimmed milk and pour over.

Bake for about 30mins (until set) at 180C
