Ackee Quiche: Brunch Ready Recipe
Quiches are a brunch favourite! Once you’ve nailed down your crust recipe; it’s a matter of deciding on what you want your fillings to be as the custard is a simple ratio of half a cup of dairy (cream, milk, half and half or even sour cream) for each egg you use.
To make this ackee quiche or as I like to say Keeche, I replaced a bit of the milk with ackees. Want even more ackee? Add it as a filling too! Here I’ve used ricotta cheese and a mix of dark greens (kale, chard, spinach, collards, frisee & mizuna); but you can use whatever you like.

Fluffy Ackee Biscuits
I didn’t realise until after writing the title that if it were an acronym it would spell FAB which basically sums it up. These ackee biscuits are tender, light and amazingly versatile. The nutty ackee flavour is noticeable when the biscuit is had on its own but when paired with something else it sits back and allows the other player to shine. The recipe has intentionally been kept simple, it’s meant to be a canvas if you will, but there are definitely variations and upgrades in its future.
