Very tasty. I used a polenta pastry which was lovely with the filling.
Love love love this recipe. I was so proud of how mine turned out, and will be making this regularly
What size quiche does this make, please
very tasty! I added my own twist by adding bacon, onion, garlic, ricotta, nutmeg, paprika and cheese topped with some cherry tomatoes
Realise I've run out of time to make this for dinner. If I make the pastry ball only, will it freeze and defrost well? Or should I bake the pastry shell then freeze it? Thanks
Delicious! My pastry wouldn't roll neatly so I just pressed it into the tin and it worked fine. i buttered my tin and sprinkled with polenta so it would come away easily. Not sure if that was Necessary. Next time I want to try to make a double batch of the pastry and freeze half. Also want to try different variants of the flavourings eg bacon, spinach, caramelised onion. I also cooked my mash as per the EDC recipe. not sure if it would have been easier to roll the pastry if I just cooked my potato in a jacket and mashed that ie. less moisture in the potato?
Yummy!!!
My daughter and her girlfriend (both aged 11) loved this quiche so much, they served themselves a cold slice each for breakfast. Both have requested it next time they have a sleep over! The only tweek... I did not top with fetta, choosing grated parmesan and matured cheese instead. Divine. This is a really good gluten free quiche. Looking forward to trying it with Fetta. TIP: Make sure the pastry shell is really firm and golden after baking before filling with the pumpkin, broccoli and egg mixture.
