Quiches are that magical sort of dish that taste just as incredible served piping hot straight from the oven, as they do cold with a green salad.
And they’re easier than you think to make; keeping frozen shortcrust pastry to hand means they become a tasty way of using up leftover vegetables.
We’re all about making life a little easier when we can, which is why you should definitely pick up a packet of frozen pastry next time you’re at the supermarket.
Having a sheet or two of ready-made pastry, either shortcrust, puff or even filo, is the key to a quick, cheap dinner with little to no fuss.
