Microwave Savoury Quiche Method:

Rub the fat into the flour. Mix to a dough with cold water. Lightly grease a 25 cm ( 10 " ) flan dish.

Roll out the pastry thinly and line the dish. Cover with a kitchen towel and put an upturned plate in the base. Cook on HIGH for 4 minutes.

Note: pastry should be a consistent color and look -dry.

 In a basin, put the onion, pepper, and margarine. Cook on HIGH for 2-3 minutes. Mix together the eggs, seasoning, herbs, and milk. Remove the plate and paper from the cooked pastry case and sprinkle over the cheese, shrimp, tomatoes, sweetcorn, onion, and peppers.

      Note: for Bacon Quiche -add 2 diced bacon rashers.

 Pour over the egg mixture.

Cook on LOW for 15-16 minutes until the center is firm. Serve hot or cold. For an 18 cm ( 7 " ) flan use half the quantity of pastry and reduce the eggs to 2 and milk to 300 ml ( ½ pt ). Cook on LOW for 10 minutes.

Note: For a browner finish, you can substitute plain flour with wholemeal flour. you can substitute sweetcorn with peas. you can substitute shrimp with a small can of tuna or pink salmon. For Quiche Lorraine - substitute diced bacon for shrimp Add any of your favorite fillings e.g. celery & stilton, asparagus & tomato.
