Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.25 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.5 cups Unsalted butter
- 3 tablespoons Ice water
- 6 cups Fresh spinach
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 5 large Eggs
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 0.5 cups Milk
- 1 cup Feta cheese, crumbled
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 0.125 teaspoons Nutmeg, ground (optional)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and a pinch of salt. Using a pastry cutter or fork, cut in the unsalted butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Gradually add ice water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough comes together. Form the dough into a ball, wrap it in plastic wrap, and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). On a lightly floured surface, roll out the chilled dough into a circle about 12 inches in diameter. Press the dough into a 9-inch pie dish, trimming any excess. Prick the bottom with a fork and blind bake the crust by covering it with parchment paper and pie weights or dried beans. Bake for 12-15 minutes, then remove the weights and parchment and bake for another 5 minutes until the crust is lightly golden.
Meanwhile, heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the spinach and sauté until wilted, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly. Squeeze out any excess liquid from the spinach.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, and milk until smooth. Stir in the feta cheese, salt, black pepper, and nutmeg (if using).
Spread the sautéed spinach evenly over the pre-baked crust. Pour the egg mixture over the top, making sure it is evenly distributed.
Place the quiche in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the filling is set and lightly golden on top. A knife inserted into the center should come out clean.
Remove from the oven and allow the quiche to cool for 10 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy your spinach and feta cheese quiche warm or at room temperature!
