PRAWN AND COURGETTE QUICHE WITH ROCKET
From Sainsbury's magazine. "Although I prefer homemade pastry, this is a quick option using a packet of ready - rolled pastry for when time is short. The prawns and courgettes make a delicious combination but if you want to make this even simpler, replace the prawns with smoked salmon trimmings. This can also be made in a 23cm (9in) round loose-bottomed tin, 4cm (1 1/2in) deep." You will also need a 19 x 27 cm (7 1/2 x 11in) loose-bottomed rectangular tin, 2.5cm (1in)deep, lightly oiled, a large baking sheet, some baking parchment and baking beans (or rice)

Steps:
- Preheat your oven to 220C, fan 200C, gas 7. Unroll the pastry and use to line the tin, trimming the edges if necessary.
- Rest in the fridge for 40 minutes before pricking the base with a fork, lining with baking parchment and baking beans (or rice) and baking on the baking sheet on the middle shelf of the oven for 18 mins or until golden around the edges.
- While the pastry is cooking, whisk together the eggs and egg yolks with the double cream, season with 1 tsp of salt and 1/2 tsp of cayenne pepper.
- Take the pastry case out of the oven, remove the parchment and baking beans (or rice) and brush with a little of the egg mixture. Bake for 5-7 mins or until golden all over. Remove from the oven.
- Next, top and tail the courgettes and thinly slice each one at an angle. Heat a large frying pan with the vegetable oil and fry the courgettes over a medium-to-high heat for 3 mins, until they just begin to brown. Add the chopped garlic and fry for 30 seconds, enough to soften, rather than brown it. Season with a little salt and cayenne pepper then transfer to a plate lined with kitchen paper.
- To prepare the prawns, slice all the way through them, from top to bottom with a very sharp knife, and remove any black veins. Set aside.
- Spread the chopped rocket over the pastry base and arrange the courgette slices and prawns on top. Pour over half the egg mixture, ensuring it runs evenly underneath the prawns and courgettes.
- Place the quiche on the middle shelf of the oven. Pour over the remaining egg mixture, turn the oven down to 180C, fan 170C, gas 4 and bake for 30 minutes
- Turn off the heat and leave in the oven for a further 10 minutes Then remove the tart from the tin and slide off the base onto a cooling rack. Serve warm from the oven or cold, but not chilled, with the reserved rocket leaves on top.

COURGETTE QUICHE
Steps:
- In a mixing bowl add the butter to the flour and lightly rub in with your fingers until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs.
- Add the cold water and with a blunt knife, gently bring the pastry together, then finish off with your hands, trying to work the dough as little as possible.
- You may need to add a drop or two more water if there are still a lot of crumbs of flour.
- Once the dough is just combined, wrap in clingwrap and place in fridge for at least half an hour. (You can make the pastry up to 2 days before you want to cook the quiche, or freeze for up to a month).
- Preheat the oven to 190˚C/370˚F
- Roll out the pastry on a gently floured work surface. Sprinkle the top with flour and roll out the pastry to a 27cm diameter circle.
- Gently roll the pastry so it wraps around the rolling pin then lift this over to your dish. Unroll it over your 23cm/9" pie tin/dish.
- Trim the edges. If there are any tears in the pastry, dab a little water around the edges of the hole, and then press a pastry scrap into the hole.
- Prick the base lightly with a fork then line it with a large piece of baking paper and fill with some rice or cooking beans. Place in oven for 25 minutes until very light brown.
- Fry the sliced courgette and spring onion in the olive oil in a frying pan over a medium to high heat for 3 minutes each side. You want them to have a some colour - this gives them flavour.
- In a bowl, whisk the eggs and the milk together with a fork, then add the grated cheese, herbs and black pepper.
- Once the pastry is cooked, remove from the oven and turn the oven down to 170˚C/ 340˚F. Carefully lift the corners of the baking parchment and lift out of your case (taking care as the beans/rice will be very hot).
- Spread the teaspoon of Dijon mustard evenly over the pastry base, then sprinkle over the zucchini and spring onion mixture and the sweetcorn before carefully pouring the egg mixture over.
- Place back in the oven and bake for 30-35 minutes until lightly golden and puffed up.
- Leave in the dish for at least 10 minutes to cool. Best served at room temperature.

STILTON, TOMATO & COURGETTE QUICHE
Taken from 'Baking & Desserts' - Food Fact : Stilton is a very traditional British cheese which often makes an appearance on the cheese board or served with a ploughman's lunch. It gets much of its full pungent flavour, from its veins (created from the steel wires which are inserted into the cheese during the maturing process) It is worth loooking for a piece of Stilton with lots of veins that hs been matured for longer.
