Time seems to be flying by at such a rate; it seems like just the other day that we were preparing for Christmas 2024 and year-end celebrations, and suddenly we're almost there again! Here in the Western world, the shopping malls will soon be glittering with Christmas decorations, and the stores filled to the brim with gifts for the whole family!
Time is precious, so when I find a quick and easy recipe for a light meal, that recipe becomes one of my go-to standbys, and I vary it according to the ingredients on hand. My crustless (or bottomless) quiche is one of those!
I'm still staying at my brother's house while waiting for my property to be transferred. It's taking a bit longer because it's being sold by a family trust, and signatures are needed from various parts of the world! I have, however, been told that the transfer should come through by the end of this month, so I'm holding thumbs.
Meanwhile, my sister-in-law and I are having fun in the kitchen, so we had a big bake-off last week. We made spicy ground beef pies, sausage rolls, and jam tarts with the leftover homemade flaky pastry. We made enough to share with her family, and still have enough in the freezer to take out for a couple of quick meals. The pies are lovely served with creamy mashed potatoes and vegetables, or with chips and a salad!
The jam tarts were snapped up in no time by family popping in!
Onto making our bottomless quiche!
Ingredients:
The base ingredients are Flour, Milk, Eggs, Cheese, and anything you can lay your hands on that will make a delicious savoury filling. We used Bacon, Mushrooms, baby Spinach, Corn on the cob, fresh Herbs from the garden, Onion, Feta, and strong Cheddar Cheese.

Fry Bacon, add onions and saute till caramelized, add mushrooms, then the balance of vegetables, and saute till water has evaporated.
