  I have been making 'quiches' for years and they are always extremely popular and gone in minutes. However after making this recipe I dont think I would ever make a traditional quiche again with shortcrust pasrty but would add my own fillings to this filo pasty base. This particular recipe is really tasty, light and none of the greasiness you sometimes get with quiches, even my teenagers who dont like blue cheese enjoyed this and asked for more!! There wasnt any left though so would double the recipe and make it in a larger quiche dish rather than a spring form tin next time, which will be for family and friends over christmas x

  This was a complete triumph. I used ordinary common or garden smoked Bacon instead of the ham, and fried it off, diced, to begin with. I also used Ricotta for the soft cheese and grated a little strong cheddar over the top, before the blue cheese. Because I had rather a lot of filo pastry, I put a "lid" of a doubled over sheet of pastry on the top and found that this served to stop the top becoming too "crusty" - as I have a 10yo with a "thing" about baked cheese. ~rolls eyes~ He has also sworn never to eat blue cheese. I haven't the heart to tell him he already has! :-)

  This was very easy to make and looked great. I varied the receipe slightly as I don't like blue cheese and used chorizo and leeks instead and it was very tasty. I will certainly be making this again and varying ingredients as the basic recipe is so easy

  Two questions for everyone re substituting ingredients, which I generally don't do, but...being here in the U.S., the rocket is not something easily available to me. What would be a good green in place of that? Also, if one is not fond of blue cheese, what else would create the same deliciousness? Thanks!

  I used low fat cheese, as suggested, and you couldn't really tell the difference, still delicious. I also swapped the spring onion for leek, as I had some left over- also very tasty! Great and very easy recipe - I will definitely make again and try different fillings.

  Really liked this recipe! Easy, tasty and went down well with the family. I made one following the recipe and another one with leeks and salmon both turned out beautifully.

  I was unsure on how to layer the tin with 6 x layers of filo pastry, so I sort of created a lining for the tin. As thin as it was I found that after 30 mins the base was still a little soggy. All in all a great mix of quiche/ pie/ tart. I will use the basics again and try my own variation.

  Yummy recipe!!! Just a suggestion, if you want to make it a bit more high-end for guests, use instead jamon iberico de bellota - aka pata negra or black hoof-. Iberico has a strong and delicious flavor, I buy mine from BuyJamon.com <a href="http://BuyJamon.com/"> BuyJamon.com the market place for iberico ham.</a>

  Very simple and went down a treat. Leave to cool for at least 15 mins as the more set it is the better, it was tasty and looked very impressive. You may never buy a bought flan again!

  Try substituting steamed & cooled chopped spinach for the rocket, its fab! I think broccoli would be good as well. Its a very tasty & versatile dish.
