Ham and sweetcorn quiche suggestions
The best option for the short crust is to get it from the bakery as it’s always perfect, even when frozen. You can weigh the pie dough down when par-baking so that it doesn’t bubble up. If you want to get creative, substitute the ham with bacon, add spinach or tomato. The options are endless and you can even play around with the types of cheese you’re using. Grill it under a nice high heat for bubbly melted cheese.
Sometimes you just need a bit of pastry and cheese to make everybody feel better. Make our ham and sweetcorn quiche this weekend!
