Aussie Gold Scrolls

Growing up, we always called Vegemite +  melted cheese (on toast, or whatever), Aussie Gold. They go so well together! And yes I LOVE Vegemite.. all sane Aussies do if they know what's good for them.

I came across this recipe the other day for CheeseyMite Scrolls and thought I'd give it a whirl.. Despite it just being a simple Scone base dough. I've made these scrolls with puff pastry before and they aren't the same. Next to try is actual bread dough.

All in all it's a fairly easy recipe, probably more suited to little mouths (kids) due to the softness of the scone dough. I probably should have used more Vegemite and cheese.

We'll just have quiche..

Most sane people tend to have some sort of a side to accompany their quiche for dinner, right? Salad, chips or something.. The quiches I make are a meal on their own.. Especially the one I made the other night.....

Yep.. that's a fine lookin' quiche.

I did something different and used my spring-form cake tin, just to make it nice and deep. Made the shortcrust pastry as always. About 6 eggs and 300ml thickened cream, 1 cup of milk, a few rashers of bacon and some onion. Only downside was it took freakin' ages to cook. So dinner was rather late that night, but that isn't unusual at the House of Frost!

I like to add different things to quiches, depending on what's on hand.. some ricotta, spinach, sliced tomato.. fresh herbs.. all go really well!
