Quiche<\/h3>\n

This ham leek and mushroom quiche recipe has a delightfully lovely taste – very rich but so delicious. I find that quiche is one of those meals that you can have at lunch, dinner, or as a mid afternoon snack. They are so delightful and full of flavour if made correctly, and there are so many flavour combinations that you can try, just like my bacon brie and tomato quiche<\/a>!<\/p>\n

If I am completely honest I have never been a fan of shop bought quiche. I don’t really know why I don’t like them, but I always found there was too much of the egg mixture.<\/p>\n

Filling<\/h3>\n

Ham, leeks and mushrooms together provide a delicious quiche fillings, they just all work so well with the egg and pastry! I never used to be a fan of mushrooms in quiche but this flavour combination changed my mind!<\/p>\n

I used sliced ham in this quiche which I roughly chopped and placed in the mixture. My ham was honest roasted but you can use plain, peppered or some maple glazed would work beautifully!<\/p>\n

Other flavours<\/h3>\n

You can of course use different meats other than ham or if you wanted to keep this a vegetarian quiche, you can just leave the ham out!  As with all of my recipes, you can change the ingredients to suit you!<\/p>\n

Pastry<\/h3>\n

The pastry is very easy to make at home, or you can use a shop bought case – its completely up to you! There is nothing wrong with a bit of cheating in baking\/cooking, everyone does it!<\/p>\n

Blind baking<\/h3>\n

If using homemade pastry, it does require a bit of blind baking but it is so simple it’s nothing to worry about. A lot of people worry about blind baking as it sounds like a tricky concept but its not at all.<\/p>\n

Simply pop some parchment paper on your pastry, fill the tin with baking beans (uncooked rice works well too!) and bake for 20 minutes. You then remove from the oven, remove the paper and beans\/rice then cook uncovered for an extra 5 minutes – done! Don’t overthink it, it will be delicious! Enjoy the recipe! x<\/p>\n
