Tips

You can also make this Hot Dog Quiche using Bisquick too. Leave out the pastry, and mix bisquick with the filling ingredients. Alternatively, make your own puff pastry from scratch.

To make your own shortcrust pastry (often used in a quiche), you can use a food process to blend: 1 ¼ cup flour, ½ tsp salt, ½ tsp sugar, ¼ cup vegetable shortening (or lard), ¼ cup cold butter (cubed), and ¼ cup ice-cold water.

Meat variations. If you don’t have hot dogs, you can use any other protein: smoked chicken breast, cooked bacon, ham, smoked salmon, or tuna.

Cheese variations. Use any type of cheese: feta cheese, goat’s cheese, cheddar cheese, swiss cheese, or gruyere.

Vegetables. The hot dog quiche is a great way to use up leftover vegetables you have in your fridge. Try any of the following chopped vegetables: wilted spinach, steamed broccoli, roasted red peppers, sweetcorn, cubed carrots, caramelized onion, etc.

This recipe will work in a hollowed-out loaf of bread too.
