Best ever recipe, I used leeks and chilli cheese nom nom oh n topped with thinly sliced tomatoes

First time iv ever attempted this and first off the dough was dry and cracking when I was trying to roll it now its in oven and wont set.. just all liquid and I used all the correct ingredients.. what size eggs do you ment to use. The pastry is also a bit too salty.. was I ment to use unsalted butter?? Where im I going wrong?? :/

I loved this recipe. Shame its so high in calories and fat so I made individual tarts and put in freezer for special occasions. I also used red onion in the base and cheated with ready rolled puff pastry.

I split the pastry/cheese between 2 tins. I used red onion in one with Brie, Stilton and Edam and white onions with Camembert and Cranberry in cheese for the other. Both were delicious, to the point I had to blatantly ignore the cheeseboards reduced in Tesco's yesterday because as yummy as they were Weightwatchers they are not. ;0P I could feel the pounds piling on just thinking about making them again.

This was heavenly, if a touch on the greasy side. A great way to use up leftover cheese, and lovely with a touch of mustard in the pastry and filling too.

This was one of my best. Used up some caramelized Christmas Wensleydale cheese along with cheddar. Added a red pepper and some fresh sage, chives and thyme.... Delicious!

I made this tonight for tea was fab. I made the pastry by hand to save on the washing up. Used cheddar and brie and served it with new potatoes and salad was yum.

sorry forgot to rate it

made this tonight.used 1 onion & five shallots,half milk & cream and for the cheese mix i used stilton, brie, & gruyere, It was delicious. I will try useing leeks next time see how that works

This was so easy and so tasty. Great cold in your lunch box with some chilli jam !

Fabulous way to use up Christmas cheeses. My other half does not like cooked cheese generally but demolished this and had seconds and thirds. I used semi-skimmed milk and 3 standard eggs and it set really well.

Try the pastry for the beetroot and caramelised onion tart from a week or two ago. It has porridge oats (and grated carrots) in it and works well with plain flour as well as with wholemeal.

Excellent. Was not sure about all the cheese but it worked well. I kept to the recipe with great results, might add mustard and extra bits next time. Not very healthy though so one to do on occassions! Oh and don't miss out on the stilton - it really makes the dish!

great flavours - adding this to favs

Absolutely delicious! This dish was devoured by all members of the family.
To drastically reduce the fat content, and continue the 'using up left overs' theme, I replaced the double cream with half creme fraiche (the 60% reduced fat version) and half skimmed milk. The blue cheese and mature red cheddar was rich enough to compensate for ditching the double cream. As suggested by another reviewer I add a large tsp of mustard powder to the egg mix for extra zing!
Will be making this treat time and time again.

I did this with red onions and spring onion, mature cheddar and red Leicester and used quark instead of double cream - I got a marriage proposal from a man at work after selling it in slices for a fundraiser at work :-)

I've just taken mine out of the oven and when it was cool enough sampled a piece. It's the nicest quiche I've ever made. I used applewood smoked cheddar, mature double gloucester and some other orange cheese with blue veins in it that I can't remember the name of. My flan tin is 25cm across and although the pastry recipe still fitted the tin I added an extra egg and half a pot of cream to fill the flan to the top. Will definitely make again and experiment with other cheeses and fillings.

I made a gluten free shortcrust pastry case as my husband is gluten intolerant and used 1 onion and 1 leek in the filling with a mixture of Brie, Stilton and cheddar cheeses.
It was delicious and went down very well with my husband who has been pastry deprived for a while!
A great lunch dish and a useful addition to my vegetarian repertoire
plus a great way to use up the left over cheeses after Christmas.

1/2 & 1/2 Stilton and Cheddar, really tasty, will do again.....

Absolutely scrummy. Used up all my leftovers from christmas and even added a bit of leftover ham. Really easy even the pastry.
