If you don't have baking beans line the pastry with greaseproof paper then scrunch up some tin foil and put inside, then bake at gas 6 for 10 mins
If you don't have greaseproof paper or foil try gently pricking the base all over with a fork before you bake it for 10 mins, this helps stop the pastry from rising and leaving no room for you filling,( but not all the way through iyswim or you filling might leak out!)

I just blind bake by pricking the base with a fork.

I dont have baking beans but just use some dried Pasta on top of greeseproof paper.

Thanks for the advice I have just removed my 1st ever home made quiche from the oven and it looks fab. I am sooo pleased I love the quiche I buy from the market but it is too expensive and the supermarket ones are not as nice. Heres to hoping it tastes as good as it looks

Hi everyone I could do with some help if anyones available. I m trying to save money and make my family healthy by making my own food from scratch.

To save money/time and be quite healthy when making quiche (and just in case there's a real man in the house!) you can line your dish with mashed potato and then add whatever filling you want. Just add loads of salad or veg and you have a complete meal.

If you really want to bake blind. Just cross a couple of teaspoons on the base. This stops it rising. I never have anything else suitable for blind baking and this works fine for me.

i have just tried my first attempt at shortcrust pastry (in the form of jam tarts) and got the big thumbs up - so now i'm getting ambitous.
i wanted to make a quiche, but i don't have a flan case - can i use a normal oven - proof dish (i'm sure i saw jamie oliver do it once lol).

Also, is there any quiche recipies that need less or even no cheese (trying to lose some of this spare tyre!)

thanks

hi a normal dish will do fine just make sure you grease it well ,
i never use cheese in a quiche as my family dont like cheese
the easy way to do it is make up a mix similiar to a scambled egg mix and add any manner of veg or meat to the mix pour into the pastry and cook on gas 5 190c i think till the egg is cooked through and enjoy
