Quiche - Dairy, Wheat, Corn and soya free.

My youngest son LOVES this and it goes cold to school in his lunchbox. He dislikes the word "quiche" so we call it "Egg Pie"!! I find that the terminology around food can be key to persuade children to try new foods. Humour is the antidote to most things too! Food allergic children often have a great deal of anxiety around food and eating, you need to be patient and creative. We often to food play (who says you mustn't play with your food?!) and encourage cafe type role play. Another trick is to offer something familiar and "safe"/acceptable, with a teeny tiny sharing portion of something new. I also make a point of eating when my children do - and the same thing where possible. It's not very inviting offering children something different, whilst you are tucking in to a plateful of food they are not allowed...

For this "Egg Pie" there fore, use the basic pie crust from here to make the case.

For a gluten free recipe you can also use Juvela Harvest White mix, the pastry recipe on the back.

Blend 3 eggs and one carton of oatly cream, a little salt and pepper and pour into case.

Bake as usual!

Leave plain as above (the only way my son will eat it...) or add fillings of your choice - broccoli, ham sweetcorn and tuna.... anything your child likes and can eat.

UPDATE
Today I tried this with a variation on the filling. Half a sachet of coconut cream (Patak's) three eggs and some rice milk, blended up. Looked very authentic and creamy inside.
