Quintessential Quiche - Real Recipes from Mums

A Delicious, healthy and light meal that is perfect for the summer weather. This is also a good way to “hide” veggies from children who are fussy eaters

Ingredients (serves 4)

5-6 Eggs (depending on the size of the dish)
1/2 cup Grated cheese
300ml Cream
1/2 bunch Eschallots chopped
1 Zucchini grated
2 Frozen puff pastry sheets
4 Rashers of bacon (omit for a vegetarian option)
Salt and pepper to taste

Method

Preheat oven to 180°C, place fozen pastry on bench to thaw and reach room temperature. Grease a pie dish. Place thawed puff sheets into dish leaving overhanging bits as pastry shrinks when cooked. If layering pastry to fit dish ensure that overlaps a firmly pressed to ensure seal.
Blind bake* your quiche pastry shell for 10 mins with pasrty weights (or uncooked rice) on baking paper. Remove from oven take out baking paper and weights and blind bake for another 5-10mins until base is cripy and just browned. Leave oven on and put aside baked pie case until ready for filling. *blind baking is when pastry is pre baked empty to ensure golden crusty texture to avoid a soggy pastry bottom.
In a bowl combine all remaining ingredients and lightly mixed in by hand to avoid whipping the eggs and cream. Pour filling into pastry case and bake for 45-50 minutes until the filling looks set and can be pierced by a cake tester and come out clean. Serve hot from oven or cooled with a side of salad.

Notes

Can be made with gluten free pastry or without pastry base at all for a gluten free diet

Love all these different versions of Quiche and how it can hide the goodies if they are small enough.

Love this as an easy way to hide veggies thanks – I hadn’t thought of in a quiche. I have a very fussy 4 year old this will be perfect for (hopefully!)
