Spinach and goat cheese quiche – Serves 6

For the pastry:

200g flour

Pinch of salt

90g cold butter, diced

1 egg

1 Tbsp cold water

Method:

Mix flour and salt in a bowl, add the butter and mix with your fingers (you’re aiming a crumby consistency)

Add the egg and cold water, mix until you form a non-sticky dough ball (you can add more flour if too sticky).

Cover and place in the fridge for 30min.

 

2 onions

400g frozen spinach

½ tsp dried thyme

3 eggs

200ml pouring cream

Pinch of ground nutmeg

180g fresh goat (goat log is best)

 

Method:

Slice the onions and cook them in oil on medium heat for about 10 minutes, then add the frozen spinach and thyme.

Cover and cook for about 20 minutes.

In a bowl, mix eggs, cream, salt and pepper and a pinch of ground nutmeg.

Crumble half of the goat cheese and add to the egg/cream mix. Then add the onions and spinach to the mix.

Roll out the pastry and place in a tart/quiche tin.

Pour the mix and crumble the rest of the goat cheese on top (or slices of cheese if you used a log).

Bake in a pre-heated oven at 190C for about 40 minutes.
