Got a ladies lunch happening here tomorrow want some ideas I thought about a quiche but I dont know had a wish for meatless but something that is able to be cooked ahead of time or left in oven cooking. I get hayfever and my head has gone blank all ideas will be great. Oh it is a ladies lunch but only for about 3 ladies and 2 teenagers!

Leave out the bacon or use vegetarian bacon. is like a quiche however.
Zucchini Savoury Loaf
380 grams Zucchini grated 3 to 4 rashers bacon finely chopped 1 cup grated cheese 1 cup self raising flour 1 large onion finely chopped 1/2 cup oil 5 eggs Salt and Pepper to taste Mix all together, into a widish Loaf or a sort of Lamington Tin well greased, paper lined, bake at 180c for 50 to 60 minutes or longer if wish but lower the temperature until well golden brown or the top bounces back with a slight push of finger. Serve.
Very nice Quiche type of dish, could add or alter other veges like potato etc, .
Cheers

The only thing I have with having meatless is because all of us have meat eaters for dinner and just keen on a light lunch without hte weight of meat but happy to change ideas

Stuffed eggplant - stuff eggplant halves with a mixture of their own flesh scooped out and cut up, plus, tomato, onion, cheese and herbs and seasoning. Top with buttered breadcrumbs and oven bake for an hour or so.

I've got a delicious feta and spinach quiche. You could make it in advance. It is so tasty. I cold dig out the recipe if you like!

I make this with sun dried tomato in place of the bacon and it is just delicious. I use a lasagne style dish.

I sometimes make a frittata as it can be done the night before and re heated either whole or in wedges in microwave.To make it tasty a little cooked bacon and some tasty cheese mixed in with the eggs etc.

What about a orzo or pasta salad using fresh herbs and vegetables (spring onions, tomato, cucumber, spanish onions etc) with a wicked vinegerette!

How about scalloped potatoes (sliced, par boil potatoes layered with cheese, salt & pepper, etc and then add some milk and bake). These can be thrown in the oven and left to bake completely unattended and can be prepared the day before. A nice green salad - lettuce, tomatoes, onion, red capsicum, spring onion, etc (all the usual suspects) with a nice vinaigrette. If you want to bake a couple of small fillets of salmon with lemon, butter and fresh herbs wrapped in tinfoil (the smaller slices) at the same time you can. these can be either put in 20mins before serving or cooked and taken out to cool earlier on and served warm.
Finish with a lovely lemon tart with strawberry and whipped cream garnish.
