QUICHE LORRAINE

PREP 15 MINS (+ 20 MINS CHILLING) COOKING 50 MINS

SERVES 6 (AS A LIGHT MEAL)

2 sheets (240g) Simply Wize Gluten Free Puff Pastry

4 x 60g eggs

185ml (¾ cup) skim milk Freshly ground black pepper

40g gluten-free salt-reduced leg ham, finely chopped

35g (1/3 cup) reduced-fat grated cheese

3 x 250g trays cherry tomatoes on vine

Rocket leaves, to serve (optional)

1 Preheat oven to 170°C (fanforced). Line an oven tray with baking paper. Spray a 20cm (base measurement) loose-based flan tin with cooking spray. Put tin on prepared tray. Prepare pastry following pack instructions, rolling out to 3-4mm thick. Line tin with pastry, trimming to fit. Place in the fridge 20 minutes to chill.

2 Cover the pastry with a piece of baking paper and fill with baking beans or rice. Bake for 15 minutes. Remove the paper and beans and bake for a further 5 minutes. Remove pastry from the oven and increase oven temperature to 180°C (fan-forced).

3 Whisk the eggs, milk and pepper in a medium bowl. Sprinkle the ham and cheese over the pastry case. Pour the egg mixture over the filling. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the filling is set. Set aside for 10 minutes before removing from the tin.

4 Meanwhile, line a small oven tray with baking paper. Put the tomatoes on the prepared tray. Spray with cooking spray. Roast for 15 minutes or until tomatoes have softened. Remove from oven and set aside.

5 Sprinkle the quiche with rocket leaves, if you like. Serve with roasted tomatoes.

Cook’s Tip For a change of flavour, you can replace the ham with salt-reduced smoked salmon and the grated cheese with crumbled low-fat ricotta.
