A Quiche is such a versatile meal, for in summer you can serve it at room temperature with a delicious salad and in winter piping hot with steamed veggies. The possibilities for fillings are also endless...... you can create your own unique quiche that will satisfy your family's tastebuds or search the net for a flavor that you fancy...
We were watching Masterchef the other night and one of the contestants made a Blue Cheese quiche as a starter and hubby commented from the side: "I wouldn't mind getting that for supper!" I wanted to snap and ask: "What the heck does this mean????" Do you not like my suppers anymore?". For the sake of World Peace, I kept quite and last night I thought...why not. It is a good idea. We love Blue Cheese and we love quiches! As a base I always use cream cheese, sour cream and eggs so I used my tried and tested recipe again but added the interesting bits...

Ingredients

1 roll Shortcrust pastry
250ml sour cream
200gr cream cheese
5 eggs
100gr Blue Cheese
1 large spring onion chopped
1 red onion - chopped and caramelized in a little oil.
Salt and pepper to taste - bearing in mind that the blue cheese is very salty.

Roll out pastry and blind bake for 15 minutes.

Make the filling

Beat eggs and add sour cream and cream cheese.
Crumble the Blue Cheese into the mixture and mix well.
When the pastry case comes out the oven, pour the egg mixture in the base. Sprinkle with spring onions and caramelized onion.
Bake for 20-25 minutes at 180C.

Serve with a salad or a cup of soup when the weather is colder.

Ps I will NEVER use store bought pastry again.....It spoiled the quiche for me, but dad and the children loved it....

I just want to remind you all to go and have a look at my other site. As you all know by now that we have started a gardening project in our community to combat boredom and hunger which ultimately leads to crime and all kinds of abuse...... some of you contributed already, but if there are any of you who can find it in your hearts to help us with either 1$ or a packet of seeds, we will be eternally grateful. We have started to clear the plots and from what I can see, the soil is so fertile. There are plenty of earthworms and one lady buried the peels of a sweet potato and look what she took out of her garden. A sweet potato weighing in at 4.1lbs. Amazing. Please go and check out our other site.....The Garden Village, where love grows!
