QUICK SKILLET QUICHE

 

6oz short crust pastry

3 eggs

½ pint single cream

6oz grated cheese

Salt, freshly ground black pepper

2 large tomatoes sliced

Preparation & cooking time:  25 minutes

 

Roll out pastry fairly thin and cut a circle 10” in diameter, using a dinner plate as a guide.

Line a non-stick omelette pan or frying pan with the pastry, pressing it up the sides well.  Prick the base all over with a fork.  Put the pan over a gentle heat and cook for 3 to 4 minutes.

Meanwhile beat the eggs with the cream, two thirds of the cheese, salt and pepper. 

Pour this into the pastry case, cover and continue to cook for a further 3 to 4 minutes.

Uncover pan and top the quiche with the sliced tomato, then sprinkle over remaining cheese. 

Put under a preheated hot frill until the filling is puffed and golden. 

Slide the quiche carefully out of the pan onto a plate to serve.

Can be served with a salad or vegetables.
