No pastry quiche! Wowzers!

It must be the same one, my friend spent years at Slimming World.

From Margaret Miles Bramwell's biog:



That's 60 million 'lbs' one assumes.

And she's probably made 60 million pounds.

Not meaning to hijack your thread Wookey!
I did say this is not healthy

Ham and Cheese Quiche with Hash Brown Crust

Ingredients

3 cups peeled and grated Idaho potatoes, squeezed dry in towels 1 tablespoon melted butter
1/2 plus 1/8 teaspoon teaspoon salt
1/4 cup finely grated Parmesan cheese
4 large eggs
1 1/2 cups half-and-half
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 cup grated Gruyere or Swiss cheese
4 ounces black forest (or other kinds) ham, chopped finely

Directions

Preheat the oven to 425° F. Lightly grease a 9-inch round glass pie pan and set aside.

In a medium bowl, combine the potatoes, butter, and 1/8 teaspoon of the salt and toss to combine. Add the Parmesan and toss to combine. Press the potato mixture into the prepared pan, spreading with your fingertips to evenly cover the bottom and up the sides. Bake until the potatoes are set and golden brown, 22 to 25 minutes.

Remove from the oven and let cool on a wire rack.

Reduce the oven temperature to 350° F.

In a medium bowl, beat the eggs. Add the half-and-half, remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt, and pepper and whisk to combine. Add the Gruyere and ham, stir, and pour into the prepared potato crust. Bake until the center of the custard is set but still slightly soft, puffed, and golden brown, about 30 minutes.

Transfer to a wire rack and let cool for 20 minutes before serving. Slice and serve.

Oh cheers, thats excellent.

In the oven now. I cut out the central vein tho to make it more flexible. However, the egg mix still sank through so I'm not hopeful unless it rises through the same gaps it found on the way down!

Edit: Came out better than I expected, but looks like an open omelette with egg on the bottom instead of the cabbage.

Wicked, someone tried cabbage!

Was it sliceable, would you say? It's a big thing is that, for me.

Totally. The only thing "wrong" with it was the egg mixture seeping through. Whilst it made the base prettier with the cabbage showing but not solid green, the top was more cheese than quiche (due to egg sinking!), but it was still edible and totally slicable. Minor trimming needed as the cabbage overlapped the tin a bit and this was like chinese seaweed but not as tasty, so I trimmed it off!

So. I bought the ingredients a while ago (having chickened out previously and used the spinach in some soup instead). However, the cottage cheese was use by 19th. Will it still be fine? I'm highly suspicious of cottage cheese anyway.

Going to attempt this now (different cottage cheese from last post). I'm kinda woozy with a cold but bored so like, encourage me please...
