Pizza Quiche

This is just a mix between a pizza and a quiche. Both have cheese, so I love both. For lunch or a quick dinner, this is just the thing. And, as always, the kids love it!!  You can pretty much do with it, just what you want. You can add almost anything you like - this one is fairly plain.

Ingredients

500g selfraising flour
1t salt
1/4t cayenne pepper
2 eggs
1cup milk
1 410g sweetcorn
1 onion, chopped
250g mushrooms, sliced
200g bacon, diced
200g cheese, grated

Method

Sift the flour, salt and pepper together.

Whisk the eggs, milk and sweetcorn together. Add to the flour mixture and mix well. Spread on a sprayed baking tray. Cover evenly with grated cheese, bacon, mushrooms and onion. Bake in the oven at 160degrees C until it is nicely risen, and the cheese is grilling. Cut and serve as is or with a beautiful salad.

Enjoy!!

Sweet & Sour Pork Pie

Tuesdays are Meat-days... I wasn't in the mood for a steak. And we've had a couple of beef pies. Sooo... I went to the freezer and my eyes fell on the pork tjops... I tasted sweet & sour in my imagination... and voila!! Pork Pie!! 

Preparation Time: 1 hour
Cooking time: 1 hour
Difficulty Level: Easy
Serves: 6-8

Ingredients

1 onion, chopped
1 tin mushrooms / 1 punnet mushrooms sliced
300g bacon, diced
1cup crushed pineapple
1/4 cup cherries, chopped
700g pork tjops, cubed
4tbs butter
1tbs soya sauce
1tbs balsamic vinegar
2tbs red wine vinegar
pinch cloves
2cups self raising flour
2t salt
1/2cup ice water
3tbs cottage cheese
1/4cup sugar
2 eggs
Salt & Pepper to taste

Method

Mix the self raising flour and salt. Crumb 3tbs of the butter into the flour. 
  
Add the ice water and mix. Don't knead into a stiff dough, just mix it to be clumpy.

Melt 1tbs of butter, fry the onion, mushrooms and bacon until nicely browned. 

Add the pineapple and cherries and fry a little. Put aside. Melt 1tbs butter. Fry the pork cubes. Add the soya sauce, balsamic vinegar and red wine vinegar and fry until deliciously browned. Add the cloves, pepper and salt. Not too much salt, I suggest about 1/2 teaspoon.

Add the mushroom mixture and heat through. Whisk the cottage cheese, sugar and eggs until well blended and smooth. 

Spray a baking dish with non-stick spray. Line the dish with the dough and press against the sides to form a crust. Scoop the meat mixture into the dish and level out. Pour the egg mixture over, 

You can either crumb the dough over, or roll it out to form a top crust. 

Bake in the oven at 160degrees C for about an hour until crust is firm. 

Serve with veggies or a salad... and enjoy!!!

Baking Powder Bread

I love baking my own bread. And I love to try new ways of making it. I have heard of Baking Powder Bread, have never seen a recipe though and have never made it. But I guessed that baking powder is one of the ingredients... Turned out to be the lightest, fluffiest bread I have eaten in a very long time!!

Ingredients

2 cups self-raising flour
1/4t salt
1t baking powder
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup ice water
1 egg

Method

Sift the flour, salt and baking powder together. Whisk the milk, water and egg together. Add the liquid to the flour and mix well. 



Spray a small breadpan with non-stick spray. Scoop the mixture into the bread pan and even out. Bake in the oven at 160degrees C for 30 minutes. 


Enjoy as a side for ... anything!! 

Yours in oil and veggies... and bread!
