- 25 Mins
-
1 pack puff pastry (or shortcrust)
-
4 eggs
-
150ml milk (or double cream)
-
75g feta (optional), crumbled
-
100g spinach (optional), wilted
-
Preheat oven to 190'C/Gas mark 5
-
Line an oven proof dish with your homemade or shop bought pastry - ideally a 20-25cm round ceramic flan dish, but the shape isn't too important - leave some pastry hanging over the edge, it helps prevent shrinkage and you can cut it off once cooked
-
Wilt the spinach (if using) in a pan and set aside to cool - once cooled squeeze out the liquid
-
In a measuring jug break 4 eggs and whisk
-
Add enough milk or cream to make up 400ml (if using a 20cm tin) or 500ml (if using a 25cm tin)
-
Season and add spinach (if using) and pour into the pastry lined dish
-
Crumble in the feta (if using)
-
Bake in the oven for 25 minutes - until the egg mixture has set and risen
-
Leave to cool in tin - can be served hot or cold
You will need
Oven tin - Anything in between 20-25cm will work. We really like this quiche pan that's non-stick and features a loose base for quick release. It's available at Amazon for £9.99.
Tips
If you want to make your own pastry . Kids will love helping you roll out pastry, squeeze out the liquid from the spinach and whisk the eggs.
Variations
Adding things to the quiche that you like: bits of cooked bacon, ham, feta cheese, sweet peppers, sweetcorn, broccoli, fresh herbs, spinach, tomatoes... but it's just as nice plain
For a crisper pastry base, prick the pastry all over with a fork and pre-cook for 10-15 minutes (blind - with no filling) before removing from the oven and adding the fillings, then return to the oven to finish cooking
