So, its party season. That means pretty dresses, high heels and of course canapes. Supermarket alternatives are great, but homemade is the best. These can be made ahead, frozen and reheated easily.
These are traditionally made with bacon, but i find its quite rich. I like to use a strong ham, for example parma. If you don't like ham then you could swap it for smoked salmon and reduce the amount of onion and fill it up with broccoli.

Wow these look so nice but my daughter has a egg allergy is there a substitute :)
ReplyDeleteIt's quite difficult to make a quiche with egg, but I have found a couple of substitutes.
Delete1 tbs gram (chick pea) or soya flour and 1 tbs water
1 tbs arrowroot, 1 tbs soya flour and 2 tbs water
2 tbs flour, 1/2 tbs shortening, 1/2 tsp baking powder and 2 tsp water
50g tofu blended with the liquid portion of the recipe
1/2 large banana, mashed
50ml white sauce
I have not tried any of these methods and obviously it will taste different.I would personally go for the white sauce. If you didn't want to risk it, you could always make little tarts and change/increase the ingredients because it might be quite dry otherwise. Please let me know if these turn out ok.
Thankyou very much the first one was very good and worked well my daughter really enjoyed them
ReplyDeletei'm so glad she enjoyed them. Thank you for letting me know that it worked! (i will keep it in mind for another time).
