Self crusting quiche

This can be served hot at home or cold on picnics. A salsa or chutney makes a good accompaniment. You can also add any leftovers such as sliced sausages, salami or bacon to this recipe.

1 large onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1 tbsp butter
3 eggs
1 cup milk
Seasoning (e.g. dried or fresh herbs, parmesan cheese, dash of sweet chilli sauce)
Salt and pepper
½ cup self raising flour
2 cooked potatoes, cubed
1 cup cooked vegetables
1 cup grated cheese

Preheat the oven to 220C. Cook the onion and garlic in butter until soft. Allow to cool. Combine the eggs, milk, seasonings and salt and pepper and beat with a fork. Pour this into a large bowl containing the flour and stir until just combined. Add the vegetables and cheese and pour into a well-greased pie or quiche dish (do not use one with a removable base). Cook for 30 minutes, then allow to cool for five minutes before cutting.

  1. 19 Oct 09 I made this for dinner tonight with 1 small zucchini, 1 small lebanese eggplant, red capsicum (all cooked after softening onion & garlic), a smoked chicken breast torn into large shreds, grated parmesan cheese, fresh parsley and laid some lightly steamed asparagus spears across the top prior to cooking. Served warm with rocket & cherry tomatoes. Delicious!
