bread-crust quiche

Use quiche filling mixture to transform a dry loaf into a spectacular bread-crust quiche. It can be enjoyed on its own or is ideal as an aperitif snack.

The bread crust will crisp up when it is baked a second time, the perfect foil for the soft quiche filling.

Step by step recipe

Stage 1 - 3 min.

Preheat the oven to 390°F (200°C).

Grate 100 g Comté cheese.

Stage 2 - 10 min.

Fry 500 g small pieces of bacon to suit your taste.

Stage 3 - 5 min.

Prepare 1 kg Quiche filling mixture, then add the lardons and 3/4 of the grated cheese. Mix well.

Stage 4 - 2 min.

Slice the top off your chosen loaf of bread....

Stage 5

...to leave a base 2 to 3 cm (1 to 1.5 inch) tall.

Stage 6 - 2 min.

Cut all the way round inside the edge...

Stage 7 - 2 min.

...and remove the crumb from the middle.

Keep the crumb to use in another recipe (home-made breadcrumb coating, for example).

Stage 8 - 1 min.

Sit the loaf on a sheet of cooking parchment laid on a baking sheet.

Stage 9 - 2 min.

Fill the loaf completely with the bacon and cheese quiche filling mixture.

Stage 10 - 1 min.

Scatter the remaining grated Comté over the top.

Stage 11 - 30 min.

Bake for 20 to 30 minutes, until the top is nicely browned and the bread crust crisp.

Stage 12

Leave to cool slightly before cutting into thick slices and serving.

Stage 13

If you have filling mixture left over in stage 10, pour it into small dishes and cook at the same time as the loaf for handy, crustless mini-quiches to save for another meal.

Remarks

This recipe is a great way to use up bread that would otherwise go to waste. There is no need to use a fresh loaf; on the contrary, drier bread is easier to cut.

The proportions for the filling are for guidance, so you may need to adapt them to suit the size of your loaf.

Keeping

1 or 2 days in the fridge, covered with plastic film.

Passion fruit jellies

Usually to make fruit jellies or (fruit "paste"), it's like jam but you need to cook fruit pulp and sugar much longer. Unfortunately, this long cooking is bad for both vitamins and flavour. In this recipe we use a special jam gelling agent, to reduce cooking time as much as possible .
