Steps:
- Mix flour, cornmeal, and salt in a bowl. Cut in butter with pastry blender until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Beat 2 eggs with 3 tablespoons cold water; stir into flour mixture until dough holds together. Add another tablespoon water if needed. Shape 2/3 of the dough into flattened round; repeat with remaining 1/3. Wrap. Refrigerate at least 30 minutes, or until firm enough to roll.
- In another bowl, combine ricotta cheese, crumbled feta, Parmesan cheese, 1 egg, parsley, basil, and oregano until well blended.
- Have an 8 or 9 inch springform pan ready. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the larger portion of dough into a 15 inch diameter circle. Carefully place in ungreased pan; press lightly against bottom and sides. Trim overhanging dough to 1 inch from pan rim.
- Scatter half of the mozzarella over the bottom of the crust. Next arrange half the ham slices in an even layer. Spread with ricotta cheese mixture, then sprinkle with spinach. Cover with the remaining ham slices. Press down gently to pack layers. Add red peppers in a single layer, and top with the remaining mozzarella. Press down again.
- Roll out remaining dough to 8 or 9 inch circle. Place over filling to cover. Moisten edges, and seal crusts together. Crimp or flute edges. Crust should not extend above pan rim. Beat remaining egg, and brush over the crust. Cut several small vents in top crust for steam to escape.
- Bake at 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) for 1 hour, or until crust is deep golden brown and pulls away from sides. Cool in pan on wire rack 45 minutes. Remove pan sides; cool completely. Cut into 12 wedges. Serve at room temperature.

TORTA RUSTICA (SPINACH , TOMATO & CHEESE QUICHE)
This is an Italian holiday classic, but it's one that I will make all year. The sun-dried tomatoes supply a tangy sensation that complements the milder flavors of the quiche very well.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
- Mound flour on a table and make a well in the center. Pour the dissolved yeast, oil, and salt into the center of the well. Gently mix in flour with a fork. Dough should be smooth and pliable. Add warm water if dough is too dry. Roll the dough into a ball and put in an oiled bowl. Cover with a cloth and put in a warm place for 1 hour.
- Divide the dough into 2 pieces and roll out 1 of the dough balls into a round shape, about 12 inches in diameter and 1/4-inch thick. Lay in a greased 12-inch tart pan with a removable bottom.
- Spread the tomatoes, mozzarella, ham, and pecorino on the dough. Sprinkle with oregano, salt and pepper. Roll out the other ball and lay it on top, folding the top and bottom layers of dough together around the edges. Cut 3 small holes in top of the pie for steam to escape. Bake in the oven until the crust is brown and the cheese is melted, about 20 minutes.
SPINACH, TOMATO AND FETA QUICHE
This is an impressive looking quiche that's easy to personalise to your own tastes. You may like to try red peppers instead of the tomato, add a few mushrooms, maybe some asparagus...you get the idea! I served this with a nice salad, a vegetable side dish and a cheese plate for a nice summer meal.

CHEESE QUICHE
This is straight out of Joy of Cooking. My sister and I whipped this puppy up for a late-night holiday treat. We made an oil crust right in the pie pan which makes it simple. Don't be afraid of the nutmeg. it adds great flavor, but it isn't enough to make your quiche taste like a pumpkin pie. DELICIOUS!

FRESH TOMATO AND GOATS CHEESE QUICHE
This quiche is the best I have ever had. It has a bit of a bite to it with the Chilli pepper sauce although you could leave this out. The parmesan pastry also adds to the flavour. This came from a BBC calendar for September.

Steps:
- Make the spinach layer: In a large skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Add onion and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and stir for one minute. Add spinach, basil, salt and pepper. Cook, stirring constantly, until moisture evaporates from spinach and spinach begins to stick slightly to skillet, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a medium bowl and cool completely.
- Make the egg layer: In a large bowl, whisk eggs, salt and pepper until well combined. In a medium skillet, preferably non-stick, heat one tablespoon oil over medium heat. Add half of the egg mixture and cook, stirring often until eggs are soft-set, about 1-1/2 minutes. Transfer to another bowl. Repeat procedure with remaining oil and eggs. Set aside to cool completely.
- Position a rack in the center of the oven and place a baking sheet on the rack. (The baking sheet is important as it helps set the bottom crust and catches any dripping butter from the cooking pastry.) Preheat oven to 425°F.
- Lightly butter the inside of a 9-inch round spring form pan. Tightly wrap bottom of pan with a double thickness of aluminum foil.
- Torte Rustic continued:.
- On a lightly floured work surface, roll out one sheet of puff pastry to 1/8-inch thickness. Carefully transfer pastry to prepared pan ? pressing dough against sides of pan and letting excess pastry hang over edges. Brush inside of dough lightly with some of the beaten egg white.
- Sprinkle dough with half of the Parmigiano Reggiano and Gruyere cheese. Layer with half of the smoked ham, then half of the peppers. Spread with half of the spinach mixture, then half of the beaten eggs. Repeat with remaining ingredients.
- Roll out remaining sheet of pastry to 1/8-inch thickness. Center the pastry on top of filling. Cut a small hole out of the center of the pastry to allow steam to escape. Press layers of dough together firmly around edges of spring form pan. With a sharp knife or scissors, trim away excess dough at pan?s edge, leaving a 1/2 inch wide border of dough. (If desired, reserve pastry trimmings and cut out decorations). Roll up dough into a thick rope and pinch and flute with fingers to seal. Brush top of dough lightly with some of the yolk glaze. If using, place pastry decorations on top and brush decorations lightly with glaze.
- Place spring form pan on preheated baking sheet in oven. Bake for 10 minutes. Reduce heat to 325°F and continue baking until golden brown, 50 minutes to 1 hour.
- Cool completely in pan on a wire rack. (The torte can be prepared up to 2 days ahead, cooled, covered tightly with foil and refrigerated). Remove sides of pan. Use a serrated knife to cut into wedges and serve at room temperature.
