Impossible quiche
Why impossible? Well, there’s no actual pastry, but the addition of some flour to the savoury egg custard separates out during cooking to form a soft ‘crust’ that holds the quiche together. So it’s a no-brainer if you love quiche but don’t feel confident with pastry. It also means it’s less calorific

Ingredients
- oil or butter to grease
- 4 medium eggs
- 50g self- raising flour
- 375ml milk
- 125g extra mature cheddar, grated
For the ‘filling’
- 100g young spinach
- 1 x 140g pot chargrilled artichokes, drained and halved
- 75g soft goat’s cheese
Step by step
- Preheat the oven to 190°C, fan 170°C, gas 5 (this is hotter than the usual temperature for baking a quiche but works perfectly for this particular recipe). Lightly grease a 23cm base diameter ceramic or Pyrex flan dish (or a square baking dish will do the job as well).
- Wilt the spinach in a pan over a medium heat. Leave to cool, then squeeze out the excess moisture and add to the greased dish, along with the artichokes.
- Break the eggs into a mixing bowl and whisk together with the flour, then gradually whisk in the milk until smooth. Stir in 100g of the cheddar, then season the mixture and pour into the baking dish. Don’t worry that it looks very thin and liquid. Randomly add small spoonfuls of the soft goat’s cheese then scatter with the rest of the cheddar.
-
Bake for 30 minutes until golden, set and starting to rise. Leave to settle for at least 30 minutes before serving; this is best served warm, rather than hot.To storeKeeps in the fridge for up to 3 days; best served at room temperature or warm.
