Spinach Tomato And Feta Quiche Recipes

SPINACH, TOMATO AND FETA QUICHE

Steps:

• Two hours before you want to make the quiche, take the dough out of the freezer to defrost.
• When you're ready to start, lay the dough into either a 10 inch quiche or springform baking pan, making sure you have enough dough to form a crust around the edge.
• The crust should come 1 to 1 1/2 inches up the side of the pan.
• Crumble the feta cheese onto the bottom of the crust.
• Pour the olive oil into a saucepan and, when it is heated, throw in the spinach and cook until wilted.
• Spread the spinach over the feta cheese.
• Beat the eggs, garlic and creme fraiche together.
• Pour over top of the feta cheese and spinach.
• Place cherry tomatoes on top of the quiche.
• Sprinkle chives and ground pepper on top.
• Bake at 350 F or 180 C for 45 minutes.

Steps:

• To make the pastry, in a bowl, stir together the flour and salt. Add the butter and, using a pastry blender, cut it in until the mixture resembles coarse meal. In a small bowl, using a fork, beat the egg with 2 Tbs. of the ice water. Make a well in the flour mixture and pour in the egg mixture and 2 more Tbs. ice water. Using the fork, mix lightly, adding more ice water as needed until the mixture holds together. Pat into a ball, wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 hour.
• On a floured pastry board or other work surface, roll out the pastry into a round about 13 inches in diameter. Transfer to an 11-inch tart pan with a removable bottom, turn under the edges to make them flush with the pan rim, and prick the bottom in several places with a fork. Press a piece of aluminum foil, shiny side down, onto the crust, and freeze for about 30 minutes.
• Preheat an oven to 425°F
• Bake the foil-lined pastry shell for 8 minutes. Remove the foil and continue baking until the crust looks dull, about 4 minutes more. Remove from the oven, sprinkle with the Swiss cheese, and reduce the oven temperature to 375°F
• Meanwhile, make the filling: Drain the spinach and squeeze dry. In a large sauté pan over medium heat, melt the butter with the olive oil. Add the yellow and green onions and garlic and sauté until soft, about 4 minutes. Add the spinach and sauté, stirring, until completely wilted, about 3 minutes. Add the dill and pepper and continue sautéing for about 2 minutes more. Taste and adjust the seasonings; the mixture should taste peppery. Let cool for 5 to 6 minutes.
• In a pitcher or bowl, whisk the eggs until blended, then whisk in the half-and-half and cream. Crumble the feta cheese into the spinach and stir in the egg mixture. Pour into the prebaked shell.
• Bake until the filling is puffed and light brown and a knife inserted into the center comes out clean, 35 to 40 minutes. Remove from the oven and let stand for 5 to 10 minutes. Garnish with the olives and serve.
• Serves 6.
