It’s been a while since I’ve shared a recipe with you — and this one has quietly become a regular in our kitchen over the past few weeks.
It’s quick, easy, and wonderfully versatile. It keeps well in the fridge, can be enjoyed hot or cold, works just as well as a snack as it does alongside a main meal… and if you’re organised enough, it even freezes beautifully (though that’s a big “if” in this house!).
The combination of peas, fresh mint, and salty feta is just perfect — simple flavours that really deliver.
The courgette adds a lovely bit of crunch and texture, while also bulking the quiche out to make it nice and deep. A small portion is surprisingly filling!
Perfect to pack up for a picnic or a packed lunch.
Why not give it a go and let me know what you think?

My healthy Christmas dinner this year was a gorgeous nut, leek and mushroom wellington, served with sweet roasted carrots and parsnips. It’s a naturally vegetarian dish, and with a tiny tweak it becomes fully vegan too.
Another good week… I’m a little late posting an update as I have been celebrating my birthday (63!) and my sister and brother-in-law are staying for five days. They live about a 3-hour drive away, so we are treating their stay as a mini-staycation and have been enjoying days out. We were joined by my daughter and her boyfriend for two days – they travelled all the way from Leeds (about 4 hours away) to join in the birthday celebrations.
Of course, there was (birthday) cake, homemade butternut squash spiced cake. I enjoyed one slice, and the rest was eagerly consumed by everyone else over the staycation.
