QUICHE LORRAINE WITH HASH BROWN CRUST
Quiche makes a fantastic easy lunch or dinner option of you are looking for healthy meals that you can pre-prepare.
One of the fantastic things about quiche is that it’s a fabulous way to use up leftovers- most veg/cheeses will go and you can come up with some great concoctions!
I adore pastry but I save it for special treats only, and I find that using a potato or sweet potato crust is a great way to replace it- I’m not a huge fan of the crust less quiches as it always seems like something’s lacking.
You do need to pre-cook the crust, just as you would with pastry.

Ingredients
- 4 medium sized potatoes I tend to use maris piper
- 6 smoked bacon medallions finely chopped or 150g lean smoked lardons
- 1 onion finely chopped
- salt and pepper
- 4 eggs
- 30 g mature cheddar
- Low calorie cooking spray or spray oil
Instructions
- Pre-heat oven to 180c. Peel the potatoes, and then grate them into a large pan of cold water. Once they are all grated, rinse them thoroughly under cold water in a colander
- Spray a quiche or pie dish with low calorie cooking spray
- 1 handful at a time, squeeze as much moisture as you can from the shredded potatoes and place into your dish.
- Once you have added in all of the potato, use the palm of your hand to press the potato down firmly and evenly around the dish to form a crust.
- Season with salt and pepper, spray with low-calorie cooking spray (or with spray oil-extra syns if on Slimming World), then pop into the oven to bake for about 30-35 minutes. You want the crust to be golden brown and crispy.
- In the meantime, you can fry the bacon pieces for a couple of minutes, then add in the onion and fry gently until softened. Set aside until the crust is ready.
- In a bowl, beat up the eggs with grated cheese, and salt and pepper
- When the crust is cooked, add in the bacon/onion mix, and then pour over the egg and cheese
- Bake in the oven for approximately 25 minutes until golden brown on top.
