Quiche (pronounced as keesh) is a savory, open-faced pastry crust with a filling of cheese, meat, seafood, or vegetables. Quiche can be served hot or cold. It is part of French cuisine, but is also popular in Britain, particularly as party food. I tried it my way by adding Paneer and spices like Chaat masala, garam masala and it turned out so well. When I made this I send few slices over to my mum’s house where my grandma was arrived to stay for few days. They reheated it in the oven and tasted it , as they haven’t heard or tried any such dish , they were assuming it as pizza with paneer but enjoyed them thoroughly. Grandma was saying “I like this Paneer Pizza” and send blessings for me.
So this is my entry for alphabet “Q ” under Baked theme for Blogging Marathon #32. So let’s start the recipe . Yum
