Impossible Quiche

I have mentioned this a couple of times now as a meal I have made, so thought I would post the recipe. It is very adaptable and very quick. Great for nights when you don't have much time or can't be bothered much. It is also a good way to use up leftover bits and bobs and tastes great cold the next day. You can cook it in a quiche dish, or in muffin tins. As mini muffins, it would make good party nibblies, though I haven't tried that. You would need to cook it less in the smaller tins of course. Ok enough waffling, here it is:

Impossible Quiche
Serves 4


1 Tablespoon olive oil
1 brown onion, finely chopped
1 -2 cups of meat product ( bacon, chorizo sausage, chopped ham, leftover chicken, leftover sausages, you get the idea..)
1 cup of chopped vegetable ( capsicum, corn, peas, mushrooms, zucchini, whatever is in the fridge though I would cook hard veges like carrot a bit or grate them)
3 eggs
1 1/2 cups milk
1/2 cup self - raising flour
1 cup grated cheese


Preheat oven to 200 degrees C. Grease a ceramic quiche dish or pyrex dish. If you use muffin tins, I would use paper liners as they may stick more to metal. My muffin tins are silicon.

Heat the oil and fry up the onion, vegetable if it is hard like capsicum or mushroom or carrot, and meat if it is raw till the onion is soft and it smells real good! Put aside till it cools a bit.

Beat the eggs, milk and flour together with salt and pepper to your taste. Then stir in the cooked stuff and half of the cheese. Pour into the quiche dish and sprinkle the rest of the cheese over the top. If making muffins, I put the cooked stuff and cheese in the muffin tins first so it is evenly distributed then pour the eggs mix over the top. Sometimes I even do that with the quiche if the mix hasn't cooled enough.

Bake it for about 40 minutes though keep an eye at the end in case your oven is on the hot side as it will burn.

I got the basics of this recipe from here, the adaptations are mine.
