Your favourite quiche filling?

**littlepinkpiglet** · 17-03-2010, 08:41pm

I haven't made one for ages and I have a craving for it atm. I need some inspiriation or I'll end up making my old standards, broccoli and cheese or leek and bacon. Ideas please?

my fave is smoked haddock

Quiche is one of my all time favourite foods (if not my actual favourite

) as a rule I will go with a standard cheese & onion but I also think goats cheese & red pepper is delicious.

Salmon and asparagus

Or

My sister does a gorgeous baked bean (I know!) quiche, which has grated carrot in it. It was in a children's cook book she or I was given when were young and she's been making it since she was about 9.

I just like the original one, pancetta and emmental cheese

.

Now unlike Aurora I'm not a quiche fan at all.

And as pastry is not my forte I've never cooked it.

But I did have not long ago the most divine quiche in the world and I could have eaten the entire lot!

Caremlised red onion and feta

MMM Caramelised red onion and feta sounds awesome, as is salmon and asparagus.

I also like the basic quiche lorraine and caramelised onion and goat's cheese too.

I know it sounds rank, but it is sort of sweet and carroty. Haven't had it for years, but it sticks with me.

Don't make pastry

buy it ready rolled, even sleb chefs seem to do it.

Mmmmmm, caramelised red onion and feta it is! Thanks for all your ideas, there are a few more I'm going to try too. (think I'll give the baked bean one a miss and blame it on the fact that you can't get Heinz baked beans here

)

**frog** · 17-03-2010, 08:59pm

Cheese and onion here. I hate the ones with things like broccoli and tomato in, they just go all soggy

Well i know it's nice

I make lots of mini quiches so not sure how it'd work for a big one but I like

- black olive, pesto, moz and tomato
- onion and jalapeño
- onion marmalade and White Stilton

And if course the original onion, bacon (v v crispy) and cheese.

**Maximillion** · 17-03-2010, 09:06pm

I love goats cheese and caramelised onion and also roasted butternut squash with 'any' cheese.

**Angel** · 17-03-2010, 09:09pm

I cheat big time and buy the ready made cases

**nickimacrae** · 17-03-2010, 09:11pm

If you get bored and need another feta option, try feta and pesto

I'm so sorry I don't have a recipe to share

but one thing I did notice was they had a really thick gooey layer of caremlised red onion

on the base and then the eggy mix was poured on top with the feta dotted in.

and sorry sparkliness - I'm sure it is lovely but baked beans are, off the top of my head (actually along with any other similar bean) the one thing that literally I can't swallow. I'm really not a carrot fan and combine that with my indifference to quiche and it's not a winner
