Quiche Lorraine with Slow Cooked Pulled Gammon

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.

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.
