CHEESE & BACON SLICE

Mum wrote this recipe out pretty roughly on a piece of paper from an exercise book.  She used to make it fairly often either to take on picnics or for casual Sunday night teas.  I can even visualize the baking tray she made it in – the family loved it.

CHEESE & BACON SLICE

  • White Wings flaky pastry (or any bought puff pastry) or home made pastry
  • 1 medium sized apple, grated
  • 1 medium potato, grated
  • 1 medium onion, grated
  • Green pepper, finely chopped
  • 30g butter, softened
  • 1 cup grated cheese
  • 2 rashes of bacon
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • ½ cup milk

Line a lamington style baking tray, approx 30cm x 20.5cm x 3cm with the pastry. Combine the apple, potato, onion and green pepper in a bowl.  Add the butter, cheese, bacon, eggs and milk and mix together.  Bake for 3/4 of an hour at 200oC.

 

 

MEDITERRANEAN QUICHE

Mum made quiches with lots of different ingredients, but I think this crustless one with Chorizo sausages was was a bit of a departure from her usual style.  I think she would have found it quite a change from the bacon or ham she usually used.

GOLDEN HAM CRISPS

I’m not sure who wrote this recipe down for Mum, as it’s not in her handwriting, but a recipe for these crispy ham patties was certainly worth writing down.  Although the ham quantity converts to 125g, I doubt that extra would go astray.  You could probably leave the sherry out though.

SAVOURY LUNCHEON SLICE

Mum used to make this slice to take on picnics or to family gatherings.  We always ate it cold and it was delicious.  I don’t think Corn & Bacon Spread is available anymore, but that’s OK as Mum didn’t put it in anyway.

SAVOURY LUNCHEON SLICE

  • 250g shortcrust or puff pastry
  • 500g sausage meat
  • ½ cup chopped bacon
  • 1 chopped medium onion
  • 1 dessertspoon worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tablespoon tomato sauce
  • 2 cups cooked rice
  • ¼ cup fruit chutney
  • 2 thinly sliced tomatoes
  • salt & pepper
  • 1 tin Masterfoods Corn & Bacon Spread – optional
  • Milk for glazing

Mix together sausage meat, bacon, onion, chutney, tomato sauce, and worcestershire sauce.  Add rice, season well.  Mix well.  Line a lightly greased lamington tin with pastry.  Place half of the meat mixture on base spreading evenly over the pastry.  Spread the corn and bacon spread over the meat and then top with sliced tomatoes, salt and pepper.  Cover with remaining meat mixture.  Wet the edges of the extra pastry and place on top of pie to form a lid.  Trim edges and pinch together to seal pastry.  Glaze with milk and bake in a hot oven (220o) for 45-50 minutes.
