I made this today, so easy.  The pastry is lovely to work with and didn't shrink.

I used Goat Feta cheese (South Cape) which was perfect in this.  The packet was only 120g but I will use the same again next time as it was so nice.  The garlic and basil flavour came through without overpowering.  I used baby basil leaves from my garden which smelled wonderful while the quiche was cooking.

I had a small slice just to taste it and ended up having another piece as it was that nice.  Will be serving with salad to DH when he gets home.  Really loved it.  Thanks Kimmy.

We had this tonight. I found the pastry interesting.  I actually left it to rest in the fridge for a bit as I wasn't ready to use it. We liked it very much and it didn't need blind baking. The taste of the quiche is lovely. I used pumpkin instead of sweet potato and sprinkled it with black pepper liberally before I roasted it.
Will definitely be making this again.

Love the sound of a pastry that doesn't need blind baking, will definitely be making this

I made a variation of this last night, no basil , I did blind bake the shell. It didn't last long very yummy.

I made this today and added in some left over Christmas ham. I was a bit concerned with making the pastry as I am still a novice but it turned out wonderfully! Will definitely make again

That looks wonderful Kath. Glad you enjoyed it.
