The original Australian bush damper was just flour and water mixed together and cooked over an open fire. This version has a bit more to it than that and a lot more flavour.

MALLEE QUICHE
This recipe gets it’s name from the Mallee District an area in north west Victoria, but over the years I’ve seen it with lots of other names including Impossible Pie and Zuccchini slice. I suppose it’s an Australian version of a frittata, the Italian crustless quiche to which a variety of meat and vegetables are added. It’s a nice easy meal and if you make this version you’ll feel very Australian.
CHICKEN & VEGETABLE PATTIES
These patties look very tasty and could be a good way of “hiding” a few vegies from the kids.
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.
INDIVIDUAL CORN QUICHES
I think the combination of salami, sweet corn, bacon, tomato and onion makes these little quiches very tasty. They’re great to pop into a lunch box or to take out on a picnic.
SALMON & DILL QUICHE
Red salmon and sour cream are a great combination and this quiche served with salad would be really nice on a hot summer day. Enjoy!
CHICKEN NUGGETS
These Chicken Nuggets might take a bit more effort to make, but I’m pretty sure that they’d have a lot more flavour than the bought ones. They be could for the kids, but you could also make smaller ones to serve as finger food at a party.
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.
