This recipe is great to use for mini quiches, served at a snack, or big savory tarts for lunch or dinner. In my head, this recipe is the contemporary South African Braai companion. Where else can you find beers and biltong on the snack table but at a Braai?
Stun your guests by serving cold mini biltong and blue cheese quiches before the braai, accompanied by sticky onion marmalade. I am sure you will impress.
Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius and use the easy and simple pastry crust recipe to do the crust.
