Smoked ham wrapped crustless quiches

These are syn free if you use the cheese as part of your healthy A, or syn it if not.  It’s absolutely fine with low fat cheese, you don’t have to use the full fat stuff.

Ingredients:

Smoked ham slices (the cheap stuff in the big packs!)
Lightly beaten egg (it’s about ½ - ¾ egg per quiche)
Low fat cheese grated
Meat and veggies to suit.  I’ve used all sorts, ham, bacon, chicken, onions, peppers, mushrooms, tomatoes, asparagus, corn – whatever’s in the fridge!!
Black pepper
Mixed dried herbs
Fry lite

Method:

Pre heat oven to 180 or gas mark 6
Lightly spray muffin tin with fry lite
Line the muffin tin with sliced ham, it needs to cross at the bottom to make a ‘shell’ as this is the cup that holds the quiche

Line the tin with ham slices to make the 'crust'
In a bowl lightly beat the eggs with pepper and dried mixed herbs
Add whatever fillings you’d like, your grated cheese and give a stir
Spoon the mixture into your ham ‘cups’ and fold the ham over the top to make a little parcel

Fill with whatever you like and need to use up!
When they’re all filled and the ham folded over, put the muffin tray in the oven and cook for about 20-25 minutes turning halfway through if necessary.  They should be slightly firm when you wobble the tray…the ham may catch slightly and look a little burnt, I like that though as it’s crispy and smoky.

If you’re not super careful they do burst slightly and there’s egg outside the ham cup, it will cook just fine and whilst it doesn’t look as perfect they taste really great still so don’t worry

If they last that long, you can keep them in an air tight container in the fridge for a couple of days, the quiches only need to heat for a couple of minutes in the microwave and are perfect for a quick lunchtime treat

Little quiche bombs!
