Mini zucchini & bacon quiches

Mini zucchini & bacon quiches

These are brilliant and so easy to make – I just made a bunch for new year’s to have with drinks.  You could easily add different flavours to your liking (chilli & sweetcorn, feta and roast pumpkin, just for example). You can store them in the fridge for a few days for lunches too.

This lovely seasonal galette was made with December peaches and cherries baked on a rainy afternoon just before Christmas Day (I’m uncomfortably aware it’s way way too late in the year to still be talking about Christmas but completely forgot I hadn’t posted this yet and am madly going through summer recipes before we aren’t in it anymore).  I mean[read more…]
