Yum, thanks everyone for helping me out!

All the recipes I found with cream came from American sites....

Skimmed milk, cheese and eggs it is, I have a big bag of spinach from the veg box and a few other bits and bobs to use up. Looking forward to it now!

Thanks again!

It is a good use for left over cream, and creme fraiche works as well, but I always use it mixed in with some milk, any sort will do. I think I will have to make a quiche as well now!

Yes, you can make it without the cream, but it's much nicer with cream. I made a stilton and leek quiche yesterday with single cream. 5 fl oz cream/milk + 2 eggs

a dollop or 2 of plain natural yog wouldn't go amiss. give it a slight tanginess.
yog is also nice instead of milk with scones.

Yes yes yes to cream! Failing that I like to mix in a couple of tablespoons of creme fraiche as this makes it taste more like a luxury version.

I've also made it with yoghurt cheese (strained HM yoghurt) and that was kind of tangy and creamy - very nice - and stands in for both the cream and the cheese.

Do you need to bake the pastry blind or can you just add all ingredients to uncooked pastry?

Yoghurt works well as others have said. Total Greek yoghurt is especially good. Made a quiche/flan thing on Friday that was basically just eggs, cheese (feta and gruyere), greek yoghurt,dill and then cooked leeks and onions (no pastry - just bung in oven for 45 minutes)

I prefer the taste of quiche made just with milk and not cream and they always come out lovely and i always bake the pastry blind.

I THINK you have to bake the pastry a bit first, but that is a big THINK, I'm sure someone else will have better information!!

I hadn't thought of yoghurt, have a big tub a plain stuff in the fridge, will chuck a spoonful in and see how it goes!
