Try hash brown as an alternative to a pastry case for a tasty quiche
Syn-free
Healthy extra: A
Ingredients
Scale
- 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.
