Instructions:
- Prepare the Crust:
- In a large bowl, mix the flour and salt. Add the cold, cubed butter and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to blend the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- In a small bowl, beat the egg and cold water. Gradually add this mixture to the flour-butter mixture, stirring until the dough comes together.
- Shape the dough into a disk, wrap it in plastic wrap, and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
- Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Prepare the Filling:
- In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, cooking until softened.
- Add the chopped spinach and cook until wilted. Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly.
- Assemble the Quiche:
- Roll out the chilled dough on a floured surface to fit a pie dish. Press the dough into the dish and trim any excess.
- In a bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk. Season with salt, pepper, and nutmeg.
- Spread the spinach mixture over the crust, then sprinkle with shredded cheese. Pour the egg mixture over the top.
- Bake the Quiche:
- Place the quiche in the preheated oven and bake for about 30-35 minutes, or until the filling is set and the crust is golden brown.
- Serve:
- Allow the quiche to cool slightly before slicing and serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.
This Spinach Quiche is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, brunch, or a light dinner. Feel free to customize it with your favorite ingredients and spices. Bon appétit!
