With the release of Nadiya's latest cookbook, Nadiya Bakes, we've been rummaging through our back catalogue of her best baking recipes. From simple brownies to epic traybake pancakes, reimagined tarts to onion pretzels, Nadiya really knows how to make the most of a bare baking cupboard with her clever flavour pairings and shortcuts. Whether you're packing school lunches, you're stuck at home with a sweet craving or you're after a quick and easy teatime treat, there's something here for you that won't break the bank.
Potato Rösti Quiche from Nadiya Bakes by Nadiya Hussain
This clever bake is a mish-mash of a potato rösti and a quiche – here Nadiya uses a mixture of sweet and regular potatoes, paprika, onion and garlic to make a light, crisp base, and packs it with a creamy cheese and chive filling. None of the faff of regular pastry and all of the deliciousness.
