Quiche.

bump up the thread for recipe.

Fab thanks :)

from manukau Hotel recipe I think;
Self crusting Herb mushroom quiche
2 med sized onions
2 TBSPS oil or butter
200g mushrooms
1/2 tsp dried basil
1/4 tsp dried thyme
black pepper to taste
2 eggs
1/2 cup sour cream
3/4 cup milk
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 cup SR flour
1/2 cup grated tasty cheese
Slice onions finely, saute in oil or butter, until soft then add the mushrooms and cook until these soften too.
add the herbs and black pepper, then remove from the heat and leave to stand while preparing the egg mixture:
beat together the eggs, sour cream milk and salt. Sorinkle four over this mix and stir just enough to combine, then add the grated cheese, again stirring just enough to mix
Butter a 20-25cm flan or pie dish.
Tip in the onion and mushroom mixture, and spread it evenly over to cover the bottom, then pour the batter evenly over this.
Bake at 220c for 20-30 mins, until lightly brown and firm in the centre.
Cool for 10-15mins before turning out of dish.

I always pre-bake the base (should blind baked, but can't be bothered with the beans).I usually make a shortcrust pastry which I whizz in the food processer until it reaches the large crumb stage and then I press this into my springform tin.It's easy and doesn't require rolling.

However, there was what seems like some very good pastry advice in the Guardian a couple of days ago, plus some good recipes (including a quiche), from Richard Bertinet.If you're interested in some more professional tips :-P

I have to make a quiche for tonight.should I make a crustless one or is it worth the effort to make a base.and is it easy

also does anyone have a good recipe for a base!

Thanks

I always do the crustless one just because it's so easy and quick

I have just made three.One for tonight and two for the freezer. I prefer a quiche with a base.This is the recipe I use.Throw into the blender 100gm plain or self raising flour, pinch of salt, 50 gm butter, blitz until combined the add enough cold water to mix to a pastry.Roll out and line dish.

I've always done the crustless too sarah.wondered if I should attempt a base. (thanks for recipe kiwi)hence the blonde question. do I cook the base first!

No, you don't cook the base first.Just line the tin.Place the cheese (75g)in the pastry case and cover with the chopped bacon(100g) (which has been cooked lightly) I just cook it in the micro for a couple of minutes.Mix together 2 eggs, 125ml milk, salt and pepper.Pour over the cheese and bacon. I slice a tomatoe and place on top.bake for 190c for about 40 mins.I double this recipe as I make a large quiche.

oh yumm.was very nice.will definitely be using base from now on, I thought it would be long and involved, but that was easy !thanks kiwitrish
