This self-crusting quiche is made without any pastry and forms a lovely firm, outer crusty layer as it cooks away in the oven! Mix together eggs, self rising flour, salt and milk. Pour egg mixture over potatoe mixture. I say crust, but really I'd describe it as a sort of pancake-y layer that's slightly heavier than the rest of the quiche.

Absolutely delicious, I used wilted Silverbeet, and corn instead of mushrooms, gf flour and soy milk. Silverbeet is also known as chard, Swiss chard and seakale beet. It is similar to spinach but has a stronger flavour. Silverbeet usually has a white stalk, however, red beet is sometimes available; it has the same green leaves but has a rich pink-red stem and veins. Tempeh is made with whole, fermented soy beans, so it's very dense, has a seedy texture, and is a little funky when raw.
