To begin with, I am not a big fan of Spinach. But, I know its healthy and we should eat it more often.. blah.. blah.. blah. So, I decided to try a tasty recipe using spinach. I had my doubts.. :). But with in seconds found this awesome recipe. Its the one and only Spinach & Feta Quiche. Its incredibly simple and tasty. Takes just few minutes to prepare. Here's the recipe.
Ingredients:
Short crust pastry dough - 1
(will upload the recipe soon)
Frozen, thawed spinach - 500 gms
Tomato - 1
Eggs - 4
Whipping cream - 250 ml
Milk - 50 to 100 ml (depends on the consistency)
Salt - to taste
Pepper - to taste
Oil - 1 tbso
Feta cheese - 250 gms
Procedure:
- Heat oil in a nonstick pan. Add thawed spinach and cook for about 7 to 9 mins, just till it becomes a bit dry and till the raw flavor is gone.
- Whisk together Eggs, milk, cream, salt and pepper in a separate bowl.
- Preheat the oven to 180 C. Dust one side of the pastry dough with flour and transfer it to a ceramic pan, with the floured side down. Bake it in the oven for a couple of minutes, till its lightly cooked.
- Remove the ceramic pan from the oven. Spread half of the cooked spinach from step-1, half a chopped tomato, shredded Feta cheese and pour in half of the whisked batter from step -2.
- Spread 2nd half of the cooked spinach, feta cheese and pour 2nd half of the whisked batter on the above mixture.
- Shake the ceramic pan a bit to level out the mixture and top it off with Sliced tomato as shown in the picture.
- Bake the above mixture in a preheated oven at 190 C for about 20 to 30 minutes. Depending on the depth and the thickness of the backing pan the cooking time will vary, so keep an eye on the Quiche from time to time.
- Remove from the oven and serve.
Enjoy while its hot!!
