- Add half the cheese to egg mixture along with the peas and corn. Mix well.
- Add the strained veggie mixture to the bowl and mix well to combine.
- Line slow cooker bowl with baking paper, leave a generous over hang of paper so you can easily lift out quiche once cooked.

- Gently pour in the egg and veggie mixture into the centre of bowl over the potato gems.
- Arrange sliced tomatoes on top and sprinkle remaining cheese over the top.
- Cover with a tea towel under the lid and cook on high for 2 to 3 hours.

I made this yesterday & was impressed with the end result! The gems turned out golden & crunchy & the quiche held together perfectly once removed from the slow cooker, will definitely make again ☺
Made it tonight. It turned out magnificent. Thank you for sharing.
Absolutely delicious. I left out the mushrooms and added extra bacon and it was amazing with very generous serves. Will definitely be making it again ??
Hi, I’m in UK, never heard of potato gems, can you help please
Like little nugget shaped potato hash browns. American folk call them tater tots 🙂
