Directions
- Preheat the oven to 180°C. Grease a medium-sized cake pan and line with baking paper and set aside.
- Place the potatoes in a large pot and cover with water. Bring to the boil and boil for 20 minutes or until the potatoes are cooked through. Drain the potatoes in a colander, then place back into the pot to mash.
- Mash the potatoes well using a potato masher and add the flour, Aromat and mixed herbs. Mix well and set aside to cool.
- Once cooled, spoon the potato into the cake pan and using the back of a spoon, pat the mixture down and up the sides, to create a crust. Prick the base of the quiche crust all over with a fork and place into the oven for 35-40 minutes, or until golden and crusty.
- Remove from the oven to prepare the filling.
- Heat 1 Tbsp (15ml) oil in a large, non-stick frying pan. Add the onion, bacon and peppers to the pan and fry for 15 minutes, stirring often until golden brown. Season with salt and pepper.
- Spoon the filling into the quiche crust. Place the cake pan onto a baking tray. Mix the milk, eggs and feta together and pour over the filling.
- Bake the quiche for 20-25 minutes or until cooked through, remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before slicing.
