Super easy Dip Quiche


It's a bit cold here in south-east Queensland this weekend. By cold I mean less than 20 degrees C. This may not seem cold to many but to me it signals hot lunch.

So a quick trip to the supermarket and I had the makings of this incredibly easy quiche. I am a woman of few ingredients so during my searches for recipes I found a fabulous book by Kim McCosker. 4 Ingredients: One Pot, One Bowl. 

Her book has many fabulous recipes. This and her other books are available at Dymocks and other good book stores. Check the link on my blog. 

This recipe, like most that choose, has flexibility. Additions and variation can be added.

Ingredients

  • 1 sheet puff pastry
  • 5 eggs
  • 1 tub (150g) Basil & Cashew Chunky Dip- I used Aldi brand Deli originals. Aldi sweet potato and cashew dip is also delicious.
  • 100g grated cheddar cheese
  • a few slices of ham/salami or 1/5 cup chopped cooked chicken (optional)
  • add anything else you fancy- cooked, chopped vegetables, sun-dried tomatoes, chopped olives.
Method
1. Preheat oven to 180 degrees C.
2. Spray a 25cm pie or quiche dish with cooking spray.
3. Cover with pastry.
4. Crack eggs into a bowl and beat well.
5. Stir in dip and 1/2 cheese.
6. Slice or chop any meats and place evenly over pastry.
7. Pour filling into dish.
8. Sprinkle remaining cheese on top.
9. Bake for 30 minutes or until set.



This is delicious served hot or cold straight out of your lunchbox at school or work.
