Quiche ideas recipes and questions (including mini quiche)

You can use either depends how deep / big you want the quiches to be. When I make mine in bun tins I dont bother with pastry either - much nicer imho.:p

I use the little yorks tins, they're fine. If you get the Lakeland one you can be certain it will be good quality and last ages. THink how many £ you will save on not buying iffy shop quiches?

Thanks guys!

Will have to use the yorkie tin for now and drop hints about how lovely and long-lasting the Lakeland tin would be!

My friend (who is a caterer) makes mini quiches for buffets but uses normal bun tins or slightly deeper mini muffin tins to make them. No need for £20-odd pounds for a special tin.

I do one with a cheese pastry. It's an Australian recipe, so it uses cups.

1 cup wholemeal flour
1/2 cup plain flour
90g margarine or butter
1/2 cup grated cheddar
1/2 tsp dried mixed herbs
1 egg yolk
iced water to mix

Rub the fat into the flour. Stir in cheese & herbs. Make well in centre and add egg yolk and a little water to make firm dough. Knead lightly until smooth. Roll out and use as normal. Chill it for at least 20 minutes. It needs blind baking for about 10 minutes.

It's a particularly yummy pastry if you have a gutsy filling like leeks or broccoli.

Ohhh thats sounds lovely. What type of cheese? Many Thanks.

I find mature cheddar gives most taste but any grated scraps will work for a quiche. Red Leicester/double gloucester gives good colour. You can use mashed potato as a base if you don't want to do pastry, it's good on a coldish day and more filling.
