We tend to go a bit crazy when buying food for Christmas and end up having lots of left overs. Why not try these Christmas left over ideas that will ensure you don’t have to throw too much away.
Quiche
For a standard Quiche base:
- 175g plain flour, plus extra for dusting
- salt
- 75g butter, plus extra for greasing
Quiche filling:
- 2 eggs
- 150ml milk
- 50g grated cheese
- salt and pepper
- leftover meat and vegetables of your choice
If you still have too much food left over, quiche is something that can be frozen and used at a later date. To help our digestive health, why not use wholemeal or brown flour to increase the fibre content.
