Little ham and egg quiches! Make them in your muffin tray. Delish

For 'quick and easy', a ready-rolled butterpuff pastry square (or two), scored about 2 cm from the edge with a knife and the centre painted with tomato/basil sauce and then lightly topped with cheese and baked on hot pre-heated tray.Cut into smallish squares for finger-eating.

I have started doing my pot luck dinners and dinners for friends in those tinfoil ones you buy from the supermarket. They are the perfect size and don't have to retrieve them.I keep a pack in my cupboard all the time now. so handy!

Savory pinwheels - can made with either puff pastry or scone dough. Roll out (or buy pre rolled pastry), spread sauce then toppings and cheese. Roll and cut. Suggestions: Tomato sauce, chopped ham, salami, pepper Sweet chilli sauce, chopped chicken, pepper, broccoli

Richard Till has a cookbook out titled 'Kitchen Sink'. In it he has a recipe his mother used to make called pinwheels - puff pastry sheets spread with variations on mashed potato, rolled and chilled in the fridge before slicing into 1/2 cm widths and baking.
Here are fisher's variations on mashed potato: fisher wrote:
Mashed Potatoes My Favourite Cut up a small onion and dice finely. Place raw onions in spuds when mashing.
(a) Add half a pkt of maggi onion soup to the potatoes, mash as usual then add 1 tbsp of whole grain mustard and mix thru. (b) Try olive oil and crushed garlic through your mashed potato instead of butter and milk. (c) Grated tasty cheese and diced raw onion in mashed potatoes for tasty difference. Or use 2 spring onions. (d) Boil a good size piece of pumpkin with the potatoes. Mash altogether for nice colour and different subtle flavour. (e) Boil some kumara with the potatoes. Mash altogether for nice colour and different subtle flavour. (f) Add silver beet half way through to the potatoes as they cook. Then mash all together. (g) Add cabbage half way through to the potatoes as they cook. Add black pepper and then mash all together. Ideal with corn beef and mustard sauce. (h) Add 1/2 cup finely chopped parsley while mashing. (i) Add 2 tbsp of sundried tomatoes and 2 tbsp of chopped basil. (j) Add 2 rashers of chopped cooked bacon and a dash of tabasco sauce. (k) Add 1 ~ 2 tbsp each of Thai green curry paste and chopped parsley.
Preheat oven to 170C. Grease and line a 30 x 20cm lamington pan.
Beat the eggs in a large bowl until combined. Add the flour and beat until smooth, then add zucchini, onion, bacon, cheese and oil and stir to combine. Pour into the prepared pan and bake in oven for 30 minutes or until cooked through

I always do a potato bake for pot luck dinners. It always is well received. The foil dish idea is a very good one.
