After thoroughly enjoying my tuna and pesto quiche the other day, I thought I would continue along the same vein with another quiche recipe today! Like the other recipe, this was thrown together using the contents of my fridge and today I though a Mexican theme would be nice and tasty. The result was delicious and perfect for those a bit dubious of quark, the chipotle and smoked paprika mean you can’t really taste it. I served mine with a side salad with a little avocado!
Ingredients
Pointing: 14sp (previously 15pp) per quiche, 7sp (previously 7pp) for half and 4sp (previously 4pp) per quarter
2 eggs
250g tub fat free quark
25g chorizo, finely diced
60g light feta (reserve a little for top)
1 tomato, sliced
3 spring onions, sliced
1 pepper, diced
¼ tsp smoked paprika
¼ tsp chipotle paste
Handful of spinach, shredded
Squeeze of lime juice
Salt and pepper
Method
Pre heat the oven to 180c. Pop the eggs into a large bowl and beat. Add the quark and beat with the eggs until you have a nice smooth batter. Add all the other ingredients except the spinach (reserving a little feta for decoration), season and combine well. Then stir through the spinach, coating well. Spray a quiche tin with 1kal and pour in the quiche mixture. Top with the feta. Pop in the oven for 25-30 minutes until risen and golden.
Serve with a nice side salad!
Enjoy!
Laura – where do you get your Chipotle Paste from? I looked in Sainsburys and Tesco & couldn’t seem to find it. Looked in the mexican section & the herbs/spices section =)
I usually get it from one of the big Tesco’s. It’s in the dried herb section next to their other sauces (like Chimichurri and Harissa ect). If not there you can get it in ASDA too http://groceries.asda.com/product/seasoning/asda-chosen-by-you-chipotle-paste/910000560426 xx
Thanks Laura – It was only a medium sized Tesco I was in, so perhaps the bigger one nearby might stock it =) Cannot wait to try this over the weekend x
Hi Laura
Are your quiches suitable for freezing?
Thanks
Linda

If it help’s I too struggled to find the chipotle paste, found mine in my local C0-OP yesterday.Small jar about £1.80 with the Mexican stuff. Hope this helps?
Hi Laura,
Do I use ready to use chorizo or the type you have to cook?
Thanks
Ellie
