The best thing about this meal is just how versatile it is. You know how some people make 'fridge pasta' or 'fridge soup'? Where they just mix the ingredients they need to use up in one dish? You can totally do that with this quiche! Use my recipe as a guide but feel free to add your own flavours to the mix including feta, mushrooms, cooked potato, grated carrot, bacon, chorizo or whatever you have!

      Absolutely! They will take a lot less time to cook in smaller portions, so just keep an eye on them.

    Is the flour quantity correct? I have just made this and it has come out more like a giant scone!

    • VJ cooks

      Oh that's crazy. Yes the amount is correct and I've never had that feedback before. You didn't use self raising flour by mistake?

    I made this tonight but mini quiches in muffin tins & they were absolutely delicious! I used bacon bits instead of ham & self raising flour as I didn’t have plain flour or baking powder lol. But my thing is, my kid is a picky eater & she ate this! We were so surprised so thank you so much!

      That's such a great idea! I'll have to try them in muffin tins. So happy to hear your daughter enjoyed them, that's what it's all about!

        Thank you for the forgiving courgette recipe.
        I went to refill the flour container only to find the flour I had weavel so I used fine oats instead, same quantity and it worked out fine. Added leftover corn, cooked it on the camp stove and put it in the bench top oven to grill the top.
        Used leftover mustard sauce made from continental pkt of 4 cheese sauce that I had added dijon mustard to.
        It's a keeper. Nom, Nom . . .

    Hi, should you squeeze out the grated courgette to get rid of excess liquid, or does it not matter? Thanks

    Reply

    • VJ cooks

      Hi Jan, no need to squeeze the courgette for this recipe.

    Hello! If I was to swap ham for bacon, do I need to precook it?

    Reply

    • VJ cooks
