Easy quiche recipe

sandy71

I have some gammon left over and don't want to waste it. Does anyone have an easy reipe to make quiche. I have googled but all the recipes seem to want cream or some sort of posh cheese neither of which I have.

I am trying to stock the freezer for my family.
Thanks

This is the recipe i use for quiche. Can substitute bacon for gammon.

Quiche:-
For the pastry
1/2 fat (margerine) to 1/2 plain flour rub together till it looks like bread crumbs add very cold water to it and cut it with it with a knife repeatedly till it looks like dough, chill in fridge for at least 30 mins before you use it.
While pastry is chilling fry onion bacon, mix 3 /4 eggs a little milk salt pepper and leave to settle.
When wish to use roll / place pastry into dish and bake in oven till sides of pastry become partially cooked then add egg mixture onions and bacon and cook in oven till cooked.

I use the same pastry for quiche, fruit pies, mince pies etc

Yes of course add cheese to add it normally just place cheese on top of it before it goes in the oven.

Would you believe this is a cheap delia recipe :rotfl::p found it totally by accident!

You can use a little yogurt, or fromage frais if you like, and any sort of cheese you wish. For a low cal one I make it 'crustless' (cook straight in a silicone 'tin') and use half fat cheese, and other veg as well as onions (eg courgettes). If you slice a large tomato and put on the top, and sprinkle a little paprika (smoked if you have it) that gives it an attractive finish as well

I do it similar to Kezlou (half fat to flour) but don't bother baking 'blind' - my pastry is always lovely.

For the filling I tend to fry onions and bacon, peppers perhaps. Then put them in and cover with egg mix (3 eggs, slosh of milk, seasoned) then throw cheese on top.

I sometimes cook until just browned then freeze the quiche for another day.
