Hello, I unfortunately can not eat pastry, can the filling be cooked in a baking dish on its own? would it setup?
Lauren Matheson says
Hi Sarah, I'm not sure how it would set without the filling, could you try it with wraps instead?
Kassiani says
Hi I have the same problem... ( I love pastry but it doesn't love me).
It should just turn out like a crustless quiche would.
I bake my crustless quiche at 180° for approx 40 mins.
Enjoy!
Rafaella says
Hello,
Do you freeze after or before baking and how do you re-heat?
Thanks!
Lauren Matheson says
Hello, I freeze this after baking and then reheat at 190 degrees for around 15/20 minutes x
