I finally found ready-lined pastry cases last weekend on a Waitrose trawl - and bought the entire stock; all 3 of them!

Made the cheat's quiche last night - but with really nice bacon from the market and I grated my own Collier's choice cheese. I was astounded at how quick the quiche was to put together, especially as I'd cooked the bacon the evening before and left it in the fridge overnight.

The pastry case was cooked to perfection, the quiche is absolutely delicious - I haven't made quiche for after-work supper for a good many years. Its back on the menu now thanks to Delia!
