Mamans post reminded me of a recipe that was discussed some time ago on the grocery challenge, I didn't try it myself but basically it was throw everything in a dish and bake. The flour forms a crust on the bottom.
I did look but the recipe isn't in the index. A quick Google will find some.

I make this recipe all the time and it always turns out delicious. I also freeze portions and then warm in microwave.

JIL, I made the quiche tonight and it was delicious and very simple. Also made jam tarts with the left over pastry! Thanks again for posting the recipe

Thank you. I'll try this out soon. Never heard of a quiche without pastry before.

heres how I do it.

i use a tin, and line it with shortcrust pastry.

that I make with half fat to flour.

so 200g flour
a little salt about a 1/4 teaspoon
100g fat ( I use butter)

sift the flour, chop the fat into cubes and rub it into the flour until it looks like fine breadcrumbs. stir in the salt, then add about 2 tablespoon of water and using your hands bring it together to make a dough. you may need a little more water.
roll it out and line the quiche tin. Use a bit of pastry to press the pastry into the sides of the tin.
Chill this in the fridge, while you make the filling. It can be baked blind but I dont bother if I am using a tin.

If you have any left over pastry make mini quiches or jam tarts.

to make the filling.
Gently saute in a little butter two large peeled and thinly sliced onions, this could take about 20 minutes.

Let it cool

Put the oven on 180/ gas 6

Take 100g grated cheese of your choice, such as red Leicester or mature cheddar or a mix of bits that need using up.

Mix 3 eggs with half a mug of milk and some salt and pepper. Mix in the cheese and the cooled onions.

pull out the oven shelf and put the baking tin pastry on the shelf.

Pour on the egg custard filling and gently push back in the shelf, shut the oven door and leave to bake for 20-25 mins. until its set.

Just made this but with leek instead of onion and it was lovely so thank you x

Made the former post, JIL, and was FANTASTIC (flirted with making the cheats one but OH was horrified at omission of "proper" pastry!
