There is something so summery about a quiche: perfect to take for a picnic or to whip up when unexpected visitors turn up for lunch. I always make my pastry but, hey, this is about more time on the beach, so use store-bought if need be. Quiche is versatile, so whatever cheese you have in the fridge will suffice, plus ham or salmon and a few herbs.

Ingredients

400 gSavoury shortcrust pastry (Main)
2Spring onions, sliced thinly
1 cupRocket
3 mediumCourgettes, sliced thinly
100 gFeta, crumbled
5Eggs (Main)
1 cupMilk, or cream
¼ cupChopped parsley
½ tspSalt and freshly ground black pepper
½ cupTasty cheese
2 TbspOlive oil
200 gCherry tomatoes
1 handfulRocket leaves

Directions

  1. Set oven to 180C.
  2. Roll out the pastry on a lightly floured board. Line a 22cm quiche tin with pastry and cut off the excess around the edges.
  3. Refrigerate for 20 minutes. Line the pastry with baking paper and rice. Bake blind for 20 minutes.
  4. In the base of the cooked pastry arrange the spring onions, rocket and courgettes. Sprinkle the feta over them.
  5. Whisk the eggs, milk, parsley, salt and pepper. Pour the mixture over the courgettes carefully and sprinkle with cheese.
  6. Bake in the oven for 30-35 minutes or until set. Remove and let the quiche rest for 20 minutes before serving.
  7. Put the tomatoes and oil in a small ovenproof dish. Season with salt and pepper. Bake in the oven for 10-15 minutes until softened and juicy.
  8. Serve the quiche warm, topped with the roasted tomatoes and rocket.
