Line an 8'; flan tin with 6 ozs shortcrust pastry To this add the flavouring of your choice, for example.... chopped mushrooms (fried), tomatoes, onions( fried), boiled ham (chopped), cooked left over broccolli, in fact anything you fancy!





Add this to 4 beaten up eggs


4 ozs strong grated cheese,


salt %26amp; pepper to taste


1/2 pint of milk





Pour all this into the cooked pastry case and put into oven at 350f mark 4 for about 30 mins. You will notice the ingredients all rise up, but when you take it out of the oven it flattens down this is normal.


Serve with a nice salad can be eaten hot or cold.Quiche recipes.... want to try making one from scratch...?

All Butter Crust for Sweet and Savory Pies (P芒te Bris茅e)





This recipe makes 1 p芒te bris茅e crust, enough for one tart. If you are making a pie with a bottom and top crust, double this recipe and form two discs of dough instead of one.





Ingredients


1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour, plus extra for rolling


8 Tbsp (1 stick) unsalted butter, very-cold, cut into 1/2 inch cubes


1/2 teaspoon salt


1/2 teaspoon sugar (increase to 1 1/2 teaspoons if for a sweet recipe)


2 to 4 Tbsp ice water, very cold





1 Start by cutting the sticks of butter into 1/2-inch cubes and placing in the freezer for at least 15 minutes or longer so that they become thoroughly chilled.





2 In a food processor, combine flour, salt, and sugar, pulse to mix. Add butter and pulse 6 to 8 times, until mixture resembles coarse meal, with pea size pieces of butter. Add water 1 Tablespoon at a time, pulsing until mixture just begins to clump together. If you pinch some of the crumbly dough and it holds together, it's ready, if not, add a little more water and pulse again.





3 Remove dough from machine and place on a clean surface. Divide into even balls. Do not over-knead the dough! You should still be able to see little bits of butter in the dough. These bits of butter are what will allow the result crust to be flaky. Wrap the disc in plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 1 hour.


4 Remove the crust disk from the refrigerator. Let sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes. Sprinkle some flour on top of the disk. Roll out with a rolling pin on a lightly floured surface to a 12 inch circle; about 1/8 of an inch thick. As you roll out the dough, use a metal spatula to check if the dough is sticking to the surface below. Add a few sprinkles of flour if necessary to keep the dough from sticking. Gently fold in half. Place on to a 9-inch pie plate, lining up the fold with the center of the pan. Gently unfold and press down to line the pie dish with the dough.





(I use store bought somtimes)








1 recipe pie dough (see P芒te Bris茅e recipe)


2 tablespoons olive oil


2 medium shallots, thinly sliced


1 pound assorted mushrooms, quartered or sliced


Salt and freshly ground pepper


1/2 cup milk


1/2 cup heavy cream


3 large eggs


Pinch nutmeg


6 ounces Gruy猫re cheese, grated (1 1/2 cups)





1 On a lightly floured surface, roll dough into a 12-inch circle. Fit into a 10-by-1 1/2-inch round tart pan (with or without a removable bottom), pressing dough into corners. Transfer to freezer to chill for 30 minutes.


2 Preheat oven to 350掳. Line pastry with parchment paper, wax paper, or aluminum foil, pressing into the corners and edges. Fill at least two-thirds with baking weights - dried beans, rice, or aluminum pie weights. Bake first for 15 minutes, remove from oven and let cool a few minutes. Carefully remove parchment paper and weights. Poke the bottom of the pie pan with the tongs of a fork and return to oven and bake an additional 10 minutes or until lightly golden. (Fork holes are for any air to escape.) Transfer to a wire rack to cool while making filling.


3 Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium high heat. Add shallots, and cook, stirring, until translucent but not brown, about 1 minute. Add mushrooms, and season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring frequently, until mushrooms first release their liquid and then liquid evaporates and mushrooms are dark golden brown, 8 to 10 minutes.


4 Place tart pan on a baking sheet to catch any run-off there might be (especially if you are using a pan with a removable bottom.) Sprinkle half the cheese evenly over the bottom of the crust. Spread mushrooms over the cheese and then top with remaining cheese. In a medium bowl, whisk together milk, cream, and eggs. Season with nutmeg, salt, and pepper. Pour over cheese. Transfer to oven, and bake until just set in the center, 30 to 35 minutes. Cool on a wire rack for about 10 minutes before slicing.


Serves 6-8.
