7 Ingredient Quiche

Hey!!!


I was about to post something about anger issues. Then yesterday I made something and I could not resist from sharing it with my fellow friends. From the title you can guess it's a really quick and easy quiche, all from scratch and handmade. So, here we go!


Ingredients:



For Shortcrust pastry:

250g Flour

125g Butter (chilled and in small cubes)

Salt to taste

4 Tbsp Milk



For Filling:

5 Eggs

500ml Milk

Salt to taste

Any topping you fancy (optional)

Cheese of choice

Method:


1. In a big bowl, pour in the flour and add salt. Then add the butter cubes and rub the butter and flour together till you have crumbles.

2. Pour in the milk gradually and form a ball of dough without further kneading it.

3. Cover the dough in cling film (Saran Wrap for you Americans) and let it chill in the fridge for 30 minutes.

4. Prepare the toppings. If they are vegetables, it is best to stir fry them lightly and let them cool.

5. In another bowl, pour the milk and crack the eggs in it and beat them together until well mixed.

6. Take the dough out and roll it in a thin sheet. Line your baking pan with the dough and let that chill in the fridge for another 20-30 minutes.

7. Take out the baking pan with the dough and bake it at 180 °C for 10 minutes.

8. Take the pan out of the oven and add the chosen toppings, followed by adding the egg-milk mixture. Finish the top by adding cheese.

9. Return that in the oven at the same temperature for 45-50 minutes or until it is solid when checked.

Ways to check: Shake the pan slightly and see if the centre is wobbling or is firm. If it wobbles, give it some more time and if it is firm it's done. Another way is to take a long wooden spoon and press it against the mixture. If it feels like liquid it's not done yet. If it's firm then it'd done.

10. Take it out and serve


It is really easy and quick to make. The most important thing, these ingredients are always available at home so it shows you can make amazing things from simple ingredients and impress your friends and family.

Here is how mine looked:


I added frozen mixed veg, peppers, onion, potatoes and a cheeky bit of grilled chicken and tuna. Yes chicken and tuna together does taste nice and no one notices it.


Hope you enjoyed it and make sure to share with me if you try this. Remember to come back every Wednesdays and Saturdays. You can guess what the post is about from my into this Saturday.


Take Care


Yours, Nafiza
