Quiche ideas recipes and questions (including mini quiche)

could u try microwave it? since the microwave cooks from the middle, other than that i'm not really sure

If the filling is really watery, can you tip it out and beat in another egg or two and then rebake. The broccoli might be a bit mushy though. What was the proportion of egg to milk to start with?

iwannanicerlife

2 eggs and 300 ml skimmed milk. It's so frustrating that it looks fine on the top but is sooooooooooo sloppy underneath!

Sorry semi skimmed milk.

ok for a quiche I would usually use 150ml of milk to 2 eggs, especially as broccoli can be quite watery. Could you add more egg?

iwannanicerlife

gosh really? That's quite a difference. Think I'm going to go and try to add an egg and next time I'll use much less milk! Thank you.

Maybe the recipe is wrong. I found this WW quiche recipe and it only uses 150ml milk to 2 eggs.

For quiche I tend to use 6 eggs to 1 pint of liquid (usually a mixture of milk, cream, creme fraiche or whatever's in the fridge). So about 1 egg per 100ml. I've never had one that hasn't set. Yours does sound

A bit of cheese might help it thicken up and set.

What temperature is your oven at? Also did you blind bake the pastry case?

Definitely need to blind bake the pastry first.

I did blind bake first and cooked at 160 degrees. It did firm up slightly when out of the oven and actually doesn't taste too bad, just doesn't look very appetising on a plate!

Will try again I think! Thanks.
