FLANTASTIC!

 
 
Bringing a touch of summer to the chilly winter days I have just used up some of the last courgettes we have harvested (in November!)  and some iron rich spinach to make a vegetable quiche.
It is a recipe filched from the BBC Good Food guide created by Lisa, the owner  of the Almeley market and deli run within a pub in rural Hertfordshire.  However I don't seem to be able to find a link to the recipe so here are the instructions.

Use approximately three quarters of a pack of Aldi's shortcrust (even the celebrity chefs now do this for quickness!) 

Pop into a medium pie dish - scrunch up some parchment and foil and bake blind at 160 degrees in the fan oven for 20 minutes and another 10 minutes after removing the foil and parchment.

On a medium heat fry one chopped courgette and one sliced onion until soft in half an ounce of rapeseed and the same of olivio (or butter if you prefer).

 
Then tip in 50 grams of fresh spinach with a splash of water and wilt for a few minutes.
Add all the vegetables to the pie dish.


Then add 100 grams of mature grated cheddar

 
Beat together 150mls of crème fraiche (I used a light version) and two large eggs and pour over the cheese.
Arrange tomato slices on the top and bake for one hour at 160 degrees (fan).
 
A tasty treat for me when he's having his leftover roast lamb during the week!
