I have been using my slow cooker more and more lately and slow cooking gammon (check out 2 Ingredient Slow Cooker Pulled Gammon). The best thing about it is that there is always plenty of leftover gammon and so my Quiche Lorraine with Slow Cooked Pulled Gammon is the perfect dish to use some of it up!
If you don’t happen to have any pulled gammon then of course you can just use chopped up ham like I’d been doing up until now! I’ve been using Value gammon which costs around £3.75. I get 2 main meals (to serve 4) plus sandwiches out of it so it’s a great way of saving money on your food bills.
Puff pastry sheet is laid in tin, trimmed and filled.
I’m not a fan of fuss and fiddle so this Quiche Lorraine with Slow Cooked Gammon recipe simply uses a sheet of puff pastry which you roll out still attached to its plastic backing (just to make it slightly wider to fit the tin). Then the pastry is simply popped in the tin and the edges are trimmed and folded down over the filling for a really quick and easy dinner.
The puff pastry edges are then folded in on the filling.
If you like the look of this quiche you might also like:

As this dish is so frugal using leftover gammon I’m entering it into Credit Crunch Munch which is run by myself and Helen of Fuss Free Flavours and being run this month by Alex over at Gingey Bites. I am also entering the Family Foodies challenge which is run by Vanesther of Bangers & Mash (current host) and Lou of Eat Your Veg where the theme is cheap and cheerful.

It’s so simple you simply must:-)
Miss. Lucinda Fountain
I love Quiche lorraine – it is a true tasty classic, and your simple-to-use recipie is fantastic! I also love the use of puff pastry as well, so to make it a ‘lighter’ dish and idea for summer with a salad.
I shall be printing off your fantastic recipie for my cookbook.
Camilla
Thank you – glad you like it;-)
Vanesther - Bangers & Mash
I love this kind of quiche and am a huge fan of ready-made puff pastry – super easy and super tasty! And such a perfect cheap and cheerful recipe for this month’s Family Foodies challenge. Thanks so much for sharing, Camilla 🙂
Camilla
Thanks Vanesther:-)
Fish Fingers for tea
You’ve got to love ready rolled puff pastry! Your quiche sounds lovely Camilla. We use the value gammon a lot and for the amount of meals you can get out of it they are a complete bargain!
Camilla
Thanks Sian;-) Yes Value Gammon has become a regular ingredient here, so versatile:-)
Carolyn Clapham
This quiche looks and sounds lovely. I can’t wait to try it. 🙂
Camilla
Thank you Carolyn – hope you enjoy it:-)
What Kate Baker
That’s sure to become a family favourite Camilla and I love the twist of using not just any old ham but fabulous pulled slow cooked gammon!
Camilla
Thanks, I’ve been making this for ages but had to post it with this new slow cooked gammon version:-)
Maya Russell
It looks great! Mmm.
Funny that whenever I see the word ‘pulled’ in a recipe, I have visions of people in the kitchen having a tug-of-war with a joint of meat!
Janice
Great idea to use a puff pastry sheet, they are super versatile, love them.
Camilla
Thanks Janice, I far prefer them to Shortcrust which can be a bit temperamental!
Ursula Hunt
Looks like a great quiche
Camilla
Thank you Ursula:-)
