Pineapple and Cheese Quiches

From Easy & Delicious Recipes facebook page. Thanks for the link Leila, they made a delicious breakfast and would also be great for lunch! Anne

2 sheets frozen shortcrust pastry, thawed; 1 cup crushed pineapple, well drained; 1 1/2 cups grated tasty cheese; 4 eggs; 1 cup thickened cream; 1/4 tsp salt; 1/4 tsp white pepper

Preheat oven to 180°C fan forced.

Lightly grease a 12 hole muffin tin. Cut pastry into rounds and line the muffin holes (I used small quiche tins), pressing gently into the sides. Prick bases lightly with a fork.

In a bowl, whisk the eggs and thickened cream until well combined. Stir in the grated tasty cheese, crushed pineapple, salt, and white pepper. Spoon the filling evenly into the pastry cases.

Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until set and lightly golden on top. Remove from oven and allow to cool slightly before removing from the tin.

Serve warm or at room temperature.

Pineapple, the key ingredient to delicious juices!

 

Tropical jam with pineapple

Adapted from Simply Delicious facebook page

2 cups diced mango; 1 cup diced pineapple; 1/2 cup passion fruit pulp (or orange juice as substitute); 3/4 cup sugar (adjust to taste); 1 tablespoon lime juice; 1 small red chili, finely minced (remove seeds for less heat); 1/2 teaspoon grated fresh ginger; Pinch of salt

Add mango, pineapple, passion fruit pulp, sugar, lime juice, chili, ginger, and salt to a saucepan over medium heat.

Bring to a gentle boil, then reduce to a simmer. Cook for 20–25 minutes, stirring often, until thick and jammy.

Lightly mash the fruit for a chunky texture or blend briefly for smoother jam.

In a small bowl, whisk coconut cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth.

Optional: Coconut Cream Swirl: 1/2 cup full-fat coconut cream; 1 tablespoon powdered sugar; 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract. Spoon jam into a jar and swirl coconut cream gently through the top, or mix in lightly for a marbled effect.

Let cool, then refrigerate until set.

Most delicious jam I've ever made! Anne
