Delicious Quiche


4 large eggs or 6-8 small eggs
1 1/2 cups milk
1/3 cup soft butter
1/2 cup flour
250g (9 oz) diced bacon, cooked, or leftover roast ham, diced
1 x 400g (14oz) can corn kernels (or frozen/fresh corn kernels, precooked)
1 shallot (green onion), chopped
3/4 cup grated/shredded cheese

Preheat oven to 180ºC (355ºF). Lightly grease pie plate or quiche pan.
Blend eggs, milk, butter and flour with electric mixer. Pour into pan. Sprinkle evenly with bacon/ham, corn and shallots. Lastly sprinkle with cheese.
Bake for 35-40 minutes or until quiche looks firm when gently wobbled.
Serve hot or cold with salad.

*We like this both hot and cold, but our favourite way is cold. Be sure to prepare this ahead if you want it cold, refrigerating it once it has cooled from the oven until ready to serve!*

Chocolate Fudge Brownies

* These are very rich and delicious brownies; they don't need frosting because of their richness!  When I made these, they were so popular that one of Dan's work colleagues paid me to make them for him! * 150g (5.3oz) butter, chopped 300g (10.6oz) dark eating chocolate, chopped 1 1/2 cups firmly packed brown sugar 3 eggs, beaten lightly 2 teaspoons vanilla essence 3/4 cup flour 3/4 cup dark choc bits/choc chips 1/2 cup sour cream Preheat oven to 185ºC (365ºF).  Line a rectangular pan 19cm x 29cm (7"x11") with baking paper.

Roast Pumpkin & Capsicum Pasta Salad with Bacon

* This is a recipe I made up to take with me to a family dinner.  It was a big hit!  It is very creamy - if you like your salads to have more of a tangy flavour, I would suggest using a tangy mayonnaise instead of the one in the recipe, and I would also suggest reducing the sour cream (making up the difference with mayonnaise) or adding more vinegar.  This recipe is very versatile and can be easily changed in multiple ways to suit your tastes * 350g (12oz) uncooked pasta (I chose small shells, but you could use any kind you prefer) 1 large capsicum (bell pepper), cut in strips 600g (21oz) diced butternut pumpkin (you could try another pumpkin if you don't have butternut, but I can't guarantee it will taste as nice!) olive oil 250g (9oz) diced bacon 1 large brown onion, chopped finely Dressing: 2/3 cup creamy whole egg mayonnaise 1/3 cup sour cream 1 tablespoon vinegar 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder Preheat oven to 200ºC (390ºF).  G...

Tuna Mornay Bake

Even though this recipe might seem a little complicated at first, after making it a few times, it becomes very simple (and once you master it, it doesn't need strict measuring - I never measure anymore!)... This recipe is a BIG favourite with everyone I know, and is even enjoyed by some people who usually don't like fishy flavours! 200g (7oz) penne or other pasta 30g (1oz) butter 1 large can flaked tuna in brine 2 heaped tablespoons flour 1 - 1 1/2 cups milk 1/2 cup shredded cheese 1/4 cup bread crumbs 3/4 cup shredded processed cheese Cook pasta in water until al dente. Preheat oven to 180ºC (350ºF). Meanwhile,  partially open can of tuna, and drain the brine into a measuring jug.  *Do not discard* When tuna has finished draining (well-drained), add milk to the brine in the measuring jug to make up to 2 cups. Melt butter in medium saucepan.  When it is melted, take the pan off the heat   and add flour and stir.  Add brine-milk to pan and ret...
