that sounds fab ,where can i get me some bisquick ???

I looked up Bisquick UK on Google, and came up with this on the Betty Crocker range:
<<Bisquick® Original All-Purpose Baking Mix is a kitchen cupboard essential which allows you to make pancakes, scones, fruit loaves, waffles, pizza, dumplings, Yorkshire puddings and much, much more. The Pancake Pouch Batter Mix is a convenient pack that will make up to 10 pancakes, ideal for a weekend brunch and perfect for pancake day.
Bisquick® All Purpose Baking Mix availablity
UK: Asda, Sainsburys, Tesco, Waitrose,>>

Now if you want to be super frugal, you can mix up your own:

16 c all purpose flour (not cake, not bread flour)
2 Tbs salt
4 cups shortening
blend all ingredients well, use as you would regular Bisquick.

I'd buy a box of the commercial Bisquick, that recipe makes quite a lot!

i'm getting into the whole meal planning/homebaking idea and made my first quiche the other day - pastry as well!!!

it was just a grated cheese and onion quiche, but it turned out better than i expected and the OH ate it right up. result!

what other fillings work well?

My mum makes sort of a quiche

It has egg and sausage meat in it, with tomatoes on the top and it's yummy

what about spinach and cheese or egg?

My favourite is mushroom & herbs:D

I'm a veggie so often use up what veg I've got or whats been reduced.

Cheese & Leek (you could add bacon or ham I suppose!)

Leek & mushroom

cheese, tomato & onion. (really nice with whole cherry toms and then they squdge in your mouth when you eat them )

Peppers & courgette is yummy too

Sometimes I roast the veg in olive oil & garlic first and you get lots more flavour but then you also have to drain the veg well - I've had some soggy quiches

I've also put raw mushrooms in and learnt that all the juice makes it soggy so now I cook these first too

Obviously, it may be my dodgy cooking and this only happens to me!

you could make it half quiche half spanish omelette - thinly slice some new potatoes and red onion - fry gently till soft ( not browned ) in some olive oil, drain off then mix in with the egg mixture and pour into the blind baked pastry case and cook.

My sister used to have a massive quich dish, she used to fill it with sausage,bacon,tomatos, peppers and onions. Shes on a permanent diet these days, so she hasnt made it for years :rolleyes: might try to persuade her to make one when she gets back from her hols, will pass her recipe on if she does.
Before I became OS I used to buy ready made quiche from sainsbury's, I think it had a layer of tomato on the bottom, then it was filled with broccoli and cheese and eggs, next time I'm in savacentre I'm gonna take a look at the ingredients and try to make on myself.

My fav is curried chicken and veg quiche.

I use the left over meat from a slow cooked or roast chicken...onion, sweetcorn, celery and broccoli....fry them all off with some curry powder and bung into your pastry as normal....

Tuna and sweetcorn one is nice too - but can't cook that very often as DH has a fish allergy.

My fave is red onion and bacon, with loadsa cheddar - scrummy!
