Well I ended up making quiche last night, and it worked rather well.=20 Turned out that, contrary to what I'd been told, one of the guests was vegetarian. That meant I couldn't use the lardons, so we ended up with an aubergine, onion and mushroom filling. Really very easy to make: Roll out the pastry (it was a little small for my tin) and line the tin (I cut a circle for the bottom, then mashed strips onto the side of the tin). Bake blind (lined pastry with parchment and placed a smaller pie tin on top -- I don't have baking beans) at 200 degrees for ten minutes, then remove extra tin and bake another five minutes. Caramalise two onions, then fry half a chopped up aubergine and a handful of mushrooms. Mix four eggs and "some" milk (didn't measure) with half a veg stock cube, some mixed herbs and pepper. Mix liquid with solid ingredients, then pour into pastry case. Bake at 200 degrees for 25 minutes. Turn down to about 150 and bake a little longer (i.e., my side veggies weren't ready). Remove and let set for about five minutes before serving. Delicious! -- Rev Simon Rumble <simon@xxxxxx.xxx> www.rumble.net
