Hello everyone!
Great to see you’re back for some more baking. This pastry is great for savoury tart and quiches. It’s a fast, easy and really tasty way of using up whatever is in your fridge. I’m going to use the same pastry for each recipe and the egg filling for each of the variations will also be the same. You will need a 24cm-round, loose- base tart tin.
The great thing about quiches is that you can be seasonal.
250g Ballybrado whole grade spelt flour
1 Egg
125g Margarine
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. Baking powder
2 cloves garlic crushed
3 leeks washed and cut into slices
½ tsp dried or fresh dill
2 tsp. freshly squeezed lemon juice
250g King prawns defrosted or fresh
200g crème fraiche
3 organic eggs
Salt, pepper to taste
Chicken & Mushroom Tart
Use the same pastry as above to prepare your tin.
Extra ingredients: 1 chicken breast precooked and diced, 2 leeks washed and sliced,
½ an onion peeled and sliced, 2 cloves of garlic crushed, salt and pepper to taste.
Sautee all the above and evenly fill into the prepared pastry-lined tart tin.
Use the same egg mix as above and pour over the chicken, mushroom and leeks into the pastry in the tin. Bake in a preheated oven at 180º C fan, gas mark 4-5 on the bottom shelf for 40-50 minutes. Remove carefully from tin and serve hot.
Smoked Salmon and Spinach Tart
Use the same pastry as above to prepare your tin.
Extra Ingredients: 250g smoked salmon, 400g frozen spinach defrosted and strained, 50g Cashel blue cheese crumbled into pieces.
