leek, mushroom and sausage quiche

8 February 2021 by Dominic Franks Leave a Comment

sausage and mushroom quiche

You know me, I love a quiche.  I find it so wonderful that something so simple as eggs, cream and pastry can turn themselves into such a glorious meal.  This leek, mushroom and sausage quiche is certainly no exception. What I particularly love about a quiche is that it works really well as a ‘scraps’ meal too. What I mean by this is that you can fill a quiche with any old vegetables you have lying around in the back of the fridge.  I’ve also recently discovered that 0% Greek yoghurt is a great substitution for cream, which seems like a nice healthy bonus if you ask me!

I’ve used some Little Willies from The Vegetarian Butcher in this quiche.  They have a great flavour that adds a certain ‘breakfast’ vibe to the quiche and quite frankly, quiche for breakfast is not an issue for me at all!

sausage and mushroom quiche

for the cheesy rye flour pastry

  • 150g plain flour
  • 100g rye flour
  • 100g butter
  • 50g finely grated Emmental cheese
  • 1 teaspoon finely chopped fresh herbs – I used thyme and rosemary
  • water to mix

for the filling

  • 3 veggie sausages – cut into slices
  • 100g chestnut mushrooms – chunky chopped
  • one shallot – roughly chopped
  • 1 leek – sliced and chopped
  • a garlic glove – grated
  • butter and olive oil
  • fresh rosemary and thyme– finely chopped
  • salt and pepper
  • 4 eggs – beaten
  • 220ml Greek Yoghurt
  • a little milk to loosen the mix

make the pastry by rubbing the butter into the flour in a large bowl until you have something resembling breadcrumbs, stir in the grated cheese and fresh herbs then add a tablespoon or two of cold water and bring together into a dough with your hands, you may need to add a little more water to create the dough but you will feel how ‘short’ the pastry is.  Wrap in cling film and pop in the fridge for at least 30 minutes

in a large pan gently melt a generous amount of butter with a little olive oil and add the mushrooms and sausages and gently sauté until golden brown, remove and set aside. To the same pan, add the onions and leeks and saute them till they begin to soften, then add the garlic and let them all soften gently for a few minutes. Stir in the mushrooms and sausages. Turn off the heat and set aside whilst you roll out your pastry.

now your pastry should be ready, roll it out and line your greased quiche pan. place some baking beans on top of the pastry and blind bake for 15 minutes on 150C

once your pastry is turning golden, take it out of the oven and set aside whilst you beat the eggs into the yoghurt.  Add a dash of milk if needed to slightly slacken the mix.  Pour the sauteed vegetable mix into the pastry case followed by the yoghurty egg mix and bake on 160C for about 25-35 minutes until golden and risen, set aside on a wire rack to cool.  The quiche should easily slide out of the tin. (famous last words…)

It’s British Pie Week so I thought a pie with a It’s British Pie Week so I thought a pie with a suitably British filling was most definitely in order and this sausage and mushroom puff pastry pie fits the bill perfectly.  It’s so quick and easy because I’m cheating slightly by using a sheet of ready-made puff pastry but life is short and I’m just not feeling it this week so quick and easy it is.

The filling is so simple, with a thick white wine gravy sauce but it really only takes a few minutes to make. I love these @cauldronfoods vegetarian Lincolnshire sausages.  They’ve got the spices and the texture just right and they brown beautifully which is great for a pie like this.

Jasmine Tea Loaf This cake reminds me of grandma Jasmine Tea Loaf

This cake reminds me of grandma Sylvia who used to always make a tea loaf for tea-time on a Sunday.  She would serve each slice slathered in butter and sometimes even with a slice of cheese on top.  It’s stunning.  It’s packed with fruit and quite dense as it has no butter or fat in the cake, but it’s so tasty and the perfect accompaniment to a cuppa, so put the kettle on.

The recipe is on my website now - click on the link in my Instagram bio, then click on the pic of the recipe you want.

This is quite literally sunshine on a plate. Such a simple loaf cake but it delivers the joys of bursts of citrus flavours in every bite!

Pea, asparagus and greek yoghurt pasta bake This Pea, asparagus and greek yoghurt pasta bake

This is such a simple concept but it tastes so good.  I'm also so glad it turned out OK because I was kind of making it up as I went along. I'm usually quite confident about savoury pasta dishes where I just 'throw things into a pan' but I wasn't quite sure if my concept of blending the sauce ingredients would work.

I'd picked up some wonderful asparagus from the local greengrocer. I simply adore asparagus and usually wait until the British grown stuff comes into season but something tempted me to buy it and I'm so glad I did.  I used my fave Greek Yoghurt by @fage_uk The taste reminds me of warm Spring days and balmy Summer evenings which is exactly the vibe we all need right now.

Eggs Florentine... a healthy green stew of spinach Eggs Florentine... a healthy green stew of spinach and peas with veggies sausages. 

I do love soft baked eggs nestled into something warm and healthy and this one pot meal is perfect.

banana, espresso, choc-chip traybake with a purely banana, espresso, choc-chip traybake with a purely filthy caramel chocolate and condensed milk icing.

Sometimes only cake will do and I was totally craving something sickly and sweet.  This traybake hits the spot perfectly and although ridiculously ugly to look at (I mean, take your pick between the cake and me) the icing was utterly divine!
