RICE & CHICKEN CAKE

I like the little note that Mum’s written on the top of this cutting – Like a Quiche – which suggests she either made it herself or it was made by someone else and she liked it.  It does seem to have a strange combination of ingredients, especially the cabbage, but it could be worth a try.

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.
