I have been using my slow cooker more and more lately and recently came across “The Best Slow Cooker Gammon Recipe” over on This Mummy which is run by the lovely Laurenne. The whole family are completely addicted to this quick and simple recipe which you serve as pulled gammon. The best thing about it is that there is always plenty of leftover gammon and so my Quiche Lorraine 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 do however implore you to try out Laurenne’s recipe as it’s quite the simplest gammon recipe you could ever find. I’ve been using Value gammon which costs around £3.75 and when you can get 2 main meals plus sandwiches out of it I think this is a really great way of saving money on your food bills.
Puff pastry sheet is layed in tin, trimmed and filled.
I’m not a fan of fuss and fiddle so this Quiche Lorraine 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 my Salmon, Courgette and Shallot Quiche and my Croquiches which are ideal for picnics or packed lunches!
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.
- 1 x 375g Pre-rolled puff pastry
- 110g Mature Cheddar, grated
- 120g Slow cooked pulled gammon (unsmoked)
- 4 Large eggs
- 100 mls Milk or single cream
- 1 heaped tbsp grated onion (I use my blender’s herb chopper)
- Nutmeg, a good grating
- Salt and pepper
- Pre-heat the oven to 180⁰C.
- Grease a lasagne tin 20cm x 24cm.
- Unroll the pastry sheet and give it a little roll with a rolling pin to slightly stretch the width to fit the tin.
- Lay the sheet over the tin and press into the corners gently.
- Trim off excess pastry. (Use for cheese straws etc)
- Sprinkle ¾ of the cheese over the base and then scatter over the pulled gammon.
- Sprinkle on the rest of the cheese.
- Put the eggs, milk, onion, nutmeg, salt and pepper in a bowl and whisk together.
- Pour the mixture over the cheese and ham.
- Fold the pastry sides down over the egg to encase it.
- Bake on the bottom shelf for 38 – 40 minutes until golden and pastry is thoroughly cooked.

Looks good – must admit one of the very few “ready meals” we buy are quiches, especially the Higgedy ones….

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.

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!

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!

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!

Thanks Janice, I far prefer them to Shortcrust which can be a bit temperamental!

I make all manner of quiches on a regular basis and always use ready rolled puff pastry which fits neatly into a lasagne tin and is much more forgiving than shortcrust pasty! There’s never any shrinkage or soggy bottoms! While the quiche is in the oven cooking I make a nice mixed salad and there are always clean plates all round!” […]
