Life had been a little free this week and I have time to prepare some of my family favourite food. Each one get to give me 1 of their favourite and I will cook it for them. This is my youngest sister favourite as well as my mom favourite too. It's quiche!!! In fact everyone at home love it too. What is quiche? It's actually a tart that used mainly egg and milk or cream. The filling - it can be poultry, vegetables, meat or seafood.
Quiche Lorraine is the most famous one and infact quiche is originated from French.
Let me share with you the recipe of quiche.
For the tart shell340g plain flour
170g unsalted butter
150ml cold water
1/4 tsp salt
Method :
1. Combine the plain flour, salt and butter in a mixer bowl. Mix it. If you are using hand, use your finger tips and mix the mixture resembles coarse breadcrumbs.
2, Add in water gradually till mixture binds together.
3. Mould it into a ball and cover with cling film. Chill for at leas 20 minutes before rolling out.
4. Roll out and put it in the mould. Pricked with a fork at the pastry base. Then, put a greaseproof paper on top with some bake beans to do blind bake. (Note : it's very difficult to find bake beans in Malaysia. What i used is black beans)
5. Then, put it in the oven to bake for 15 - 30minutes at 190C. The time is depending on the size of mould you used.
Remarks : for me, I used the small tart mould which is only abt 10' diameter.
Note : 1. You can roll out in the tart mould and keep it in the freezer for as long as 1 month
2. When you need to use it, just take it out and thaw it before use
This is the bake tart shell.
For the Filling :2 cans of Chicken Stew (I used Dinty Moore - see picture below)
Some broccoli - cut small
Some corn
Some chopped pineapple - my youngest sister wanted that to be in *crazy*
70ml fresh milk
4 eggs
Salt & Pepper to your taste
Method :
1. Mix everything together in a bowl. Then, place it in the tart shell and bake at 180C for about 15 minutes or till cooked. You can add some cheese on top or slice tomato.
2. Ready to be served. You can also keep this cook quiche in the fridge (last for 1 week) or in the freezer (last for 2 - 3 months). Whenever you want to consume it, just take it out and thaw. Then, heat it up in the oven or microwave. As simple as ABC .......................

Fresh & Hot Quiche from the oven. This is my sister one, she does not want tomato on the top.
The rest of us wanted to place a slice of tomato on top. Yumyum............
It goes very well with coffee or tea. I am sure everyone will love it. Let me know once you have tried it.
