My quiche tray is 18.5cmx4cm deep (approx. 7 1/4"x1 1/2") and I had about just under 1/2 cup of the liquid mix left and put in the oven for 15 minutes at 200C fan forced and then took a further 45 minutes at 170C fan forced to cook through. The quiche was not firm but soft and creamy and delicious and the 3 of us enjoyed our portions (with some left over for breakfast or lunch tomorrow). I used my own pastry recipe of recipe #177343 for the crust and for dietary purposes subbed spring onion for the onion and used a pinch of salt and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper and a vintage cheddar cheese. Thank you Olha, made for ZAAR Cookbook Tag.
