Quiche ideas recipes and questions (including mini quiche)

fletty

Hi I'm a school cook (don't know if thats really how I should start this as it may not fill you with confidence!!!) we never use baking beans and deffinatley not cream and my quiche is always lovely.

I've never used baking beans when I make quiche at home too and I never suffer from a soggy bottom :-0, and I'm often asked for the recipe.

If you stand the quiche dish on a baking tray it will crisp up the base. I've never used cream either, it just makes a more creamy filling, add more gammon instead:rotfl:

I use dried peas as baking beans and like others I have never used cream

I've used coins previously in place of baking beans.

I always thought you needed cream for quiche, glad I saw this!

So do you just substitute the cream for milk? Will any milk do?

I've used rice before instead of baking beans, but remember the baking parchment!

I usually use a bit of crushed up tinfoil and have never owned 'baking beans' in my 48 years of cooking 'quiche' or as it used to be known egg & bacon pie

When I make it I would normally use about half a pint to 3 or 4 eggs depending on size. Otherwise the filling will be really wet and won't set as well.

I usually use loads of cheese, 4 or 5 eggs and less than 1/4pt of milk - I like firm quiche plus it transports in lunch boxes much more easily that way

I whip my eggs in a jug, and add an equal quantity of milk

I'll add this to the exisitng quiche thread so that the great answers here will help others.
