Made this today for a quick easy lunch.
I was interested in seeing how the crust turned out. I am not sure where I went wrong but I didn't really get much of a crust, but there is one.
The recipe is very basic & I followed it 100%.
Lovely tasting, good for a quick lunch for friends or a picnic. Next time might add some spinach which I am sure would work well.
I do prefer my quiches to be taller, but still enjoyed this one.
For quickness you can't go past it.

Thanks Halex, I just received my book and was looking at this, looks quick and simple for on the go, and spinach would be a bonus, thanks for the picture, good to see what it looks like. :D
-
Enjoyed this recipe very much. The flavour was intense, and it crossed my mind that maybe next time I'd add in some corn kernels. Easy and I was happy with how it rose during cooking, but as it cooled it did settle.
-
Cecilia- looks yum. What was the diameter of your pie dish?
-
Merlin, I think it was 23 cm.
-
I often make impossible quiches in summer. Great with salad and a piece of chook.
I also make a lovely vegetable slice which is easy too
-
My dish was 28cms, so might use a smaller one next time.
Froze some, so having a piece for lunch today.

I can't believe people who write recipe books don't give us the size of dishes, trays, cake tins etc - it makes so much difference to the finished item if the right size is used.
-
I agree JD. Also when making something like a jam - helps to know the size/grams so you can have the right jar or container to pour the mix into. Nowadays I'm also writing down what dish I used on the recipe to save me additional washing up.
-
That's a great idea re writing down dish sizes especially with cake tins and the like. The amount of times I have grabbed a tin only to find it's too small or too big is ridiculous and as CP pointed out it only adds to the washing up, not to mention my level of frustration!
-
This has got me started on frustrations of cook books in general. Some of the things often missing which I think are essential are, not only the above regarding sizes of cooking equipment but the following. I'm sure there are more but off the top of my head these are the only 2 which come readily to mind.
1) how many serves - both as a main or as an accompaniment.
2) substitutes for items not readily available in supermarkets. If none suitable then say so.
3) does the dish freeze well
4) can it be cooked or prepared in advance and reheated when needed
-
Couldn't agree with you more JD!

Ladies - making this tonight ! But just thought I'd say at the top of the method it says to use a 25cm dish !

I made this for lunch today and it was delicious! It worked out even though half way through cooking I had to turn it to low because I had to go out to the paddock for half an hour.
I turned it back up when I got home and it was perfectly fine. I, too would add some corn kernels for that 'crunch' and maybe some grated carrot too.
Edited to add: I had forgotten that I'd made this from the book. Must make it again.
-
Made it last night - didn't get the crust but was still a lovely flavour plus added peas & corn
-
Made this last night with gluten free flour to take to a BBQ. Just letting everyone out there on a gluten free diet know that gluten free plain flour worked really well in this recipe. Lovely texture and the two cheeses worked really well. I didn't add spinach but I agree that would make a good modification to the original recipe.
-
I have made this a few times as DD just loves it, I included some baby spinach which just finishes it of perfectly, a great light meal :)
-
I made this last week as I needed something quick and easy. I substituted bacon for ham, and next time would chop that by hand instead of in the TM.
I think I would prefer quiche with a pastry base, but if time is short, this is a winner.
-
So simple easy, I like it without pastry, nice and light =)

Made this yesterday for a quick lunch before we went to the Hopman Cup. Added 2 large handfuls of spinach. Yum.
