How To Make Marry Berry Fast Quiche
- Preheat and prep tin: Preheat oven to 200°C/180°C Fan/Gas 6. Grease a 20cm loose-bottomed tin. Place a baking sheet inside the oven to heat up.
- Form the crust: Press the tortilla wrap into the greased tin, covering the base and halfway up the sides.
- Cook the filling: In a pan, heat oil and fry the onion for a few minutes. Cover and cook 10 minutes until soft. Add mushrooms and fry briefly. Drain any liquid.
- Layer the filling: Add onion and mushrooms to the wrap base. Top with half of the cheese.
- Mix the custard: Beat eggs and cream, season, and mix in the rest of the cheese and parsley.
- Assemble and bake: Pour egg mixture over filling. Place tin on hot baking sheet and bake for 25 minutes until set and golden.
- Rest and serve: Let quiche stand 5 minutes. Serve in wedges with a tomato salad.

- Will the tortilla burn in the oven? No, it crisps up nicely—just keep the temperature as directed.
- Can I add bacon or ham? Definitely—cook and layer it with the vegetables before baking.
- Can I use milk instead of cream? For a lighter version, use whole milk or half-and-half.
- Is it freezer-friendly? No, this quiche is best made and eaten fresh.

FAQs
Can I make this quiche without a tortilla wrap?

How do I keep the wrap from puffing up?
Press it firmly into the tin before adding the filling—it will stay in place once filled.
