Necessity as the mother of invention or how about some quiche?

This is not a food blog.
But I adore food. A little too much I think.
So when I discovered the tub of very lovely, very expensive smoked trout dip in the fridge with a next day expiry date I couldn't bear to waste it.
Given that I am doing my best to reduce my blogger butt, I decided that it wasn't the best plan to consume a whole tub of dip in an evening.
So the fridge rummage began in search of a solution.

And 8 eggs
whisked with the trout dip and half a cup of cream,
some chopped herbs,
some shortcrust pastry from the freezer,
a little bit of oven time
and we have this



It was delicious. The Captain and the Bowler mowed it down. The Batsman not so much. But that's ok.
I reckon you could make this with any flavour of cream cheese based dip....yum.

I love a bit of necessity as the mother of invention in the kitchen.
What has been your best (or worst) invention in the kitchen?

  1. Love it! Well, kind of. Fish and sea food do not rate highly to me. (Much to Hubby's disgust)
    But I love a bit of necessity... we have started being very mindful of the food we buy and consume, and what we throw out - we really want to limit it. It had been great! Last week I made a silver beet, bacon and cheese pasta. Waste not want not!
