  • Hi guys

  • I'm Lorraine Pascal and I'm going to show you my version

  • of a quiche Lorraine, I just love a quiche lorraine but I thought

  • how can I make it a little bit healthier? So I came up with these

  • mini quiches with goat's cheese and sun-dried tomatoes

  • and they're super, super easier, great for canapes, parties, picnics

  • Saturday brunch and they're very very quick. So I start off with filo pastry

  • filo is a wonderful pastry not only is it super easy to use

  • but its also light

  • light and crisp, a traditional quiche obviously comes with shortcrust pastry

  • shortcrust pastry, love it, delicious but it's full

  • of lots and lots of butter, so in the essence of lighter baking

  • I've chosen this filo pastry, it does dry out quite quickly

  • so you kind of have to act quite quickly with it and when you're not using it for long periods

  • of time just cover it with a teatowel or something like that

  • so what I want to do is make little squares to push down

  • into this cupcake tray. Start off with

  • oiling the cupcake tray, you can either use some melted butter

  • or just spray it with the oil spray

  • There. Pop that over there and then we want to cut a square

  • so I'm gonna cut, these about in half

  • down the centre and then you want a square

  • so we're looking at rough, doesn't have to be exact

  • and then you just take the layers

  • so I'll take one square there and then

  • it's really fragile so be really delicate with it and

  • another layer there so I kinda got like a star

  • and then take your cupcake tray then just push it down

  • in one of the holes like that, push it down

  • and that's it, super easy, try not to let it stick too much on the outside

  • so scrunch it around a bit like that cause if the pieces

  • are too loose hanging over the edges then they'll just snap off when you take them out

  • and there I have 12 quiche cases

  • and then I'm going to make the filling just to prevent these from drying out

  • I'm just gonna cover them with a tea towel

  • the filling only takes literally a couple of minutes

  • filling so I've got

  • six large eggs, just crack those

  • into your jug, good amount of pepper

  • and pinch of sea salt,

  • I've got some spring onions here, chop them up quite small

  • pop those in there, get all that mixed in together

  • okay and then these

  • sun-dried tomatoes, I think they're semi dried tomatoes

  • and chop those up too

  • and then my creme fraiche this is just to give it a bit of richness

  • about 3 tablespoons of this light creme fraiche

  • Cases all ready I've got my filling here and you just

  • pour the filling in, make sure that there's no holes otherwise it's going to

  • leak out

  • and then cases would just stick to the tart

  • tin and it will be impossible to get them out

  • I've preheated the oven to 180 degrees. These do cook surprisingly quickly

  • and then goats cheese, I've got goats cheese here because I

  • am quite partial to goats cheese but Parmesan

  • feta, cheddar, blue cheese

  • just whatever is your own, put these goats cheese just on top

  • like that, simple okay

  • They're all ready for the oven except a little extra spray of oil

  • just a little bit not much pop them into the oven

  • for about 15-20 minutes I'll check them after 15

  • at 180 degrees

  • Woah these look amazing

  • They smell beautiful, that goats cheese is just

  • incredible the filo pastry has gone lovely and golden brown and crunchy

  • and I just like a little bit of colour on these so I've

  • chopped up some parsley, just going to sprinkle a little bit on the top

  • like that, yum, I mean how easy

  • is it to make these, super simple, love it

  • these are lighter as I said

  • lovely and light and crisp, that shortcrust

  • pastry does sometimes get a little bit heavy with the butter

  • but you can have these as a lovely treat

  • and I'm going eat one right now

  • you've got the sourness of the goats cheese

  • and the sharpness of the tomato, the mellowness of the egg

  • and that lovely, crispy filo shell

  • I do hope you've enjoyed this recipe, give me a like if you have

  • share it on your social media and what do you like to put in your quiche

  • that you've enjoyed the recipe and
