Description

A delicious and comforting quiche made with a savory shortcrust pastry filled with tender boiled potatoes, sautéed spinach, and melted cheese, blended with a creamy egg and milk mixture. This spinach, potato, and cheese quiche is perfect for a family meal or packed in lunch boxes for a nutritious treat.

Ingredients

Pastry

  • 1 batch Savoury Shortcrust Pastry

Filling

  • 2 potatoes, peeled and sliced
  • 2 cups spinach, chopped finely
  • 1 cup cheese, grated
  • 1 tsp butter
  • 3 eggs
  • Salt to taste
  • Pepper to taste
  • ½ cup milk

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 200°C (392°F) to prepare for baking the quiche crust and filling.
  2. Boil Potatoes: Place the peeled and sliced potatoes in salted water and boil until tender when pierced with a fork. Drain the water and set the potatoes aside.
  3. Sauté Spinach: Heat 1 teaspoon of butter in a pan over medium heat, add the finely chopped spinach, and cook until wilted and softened. Set aside to cool slightly.
  4. Prepare Pie Crust: Roll out the savory shortcrust pastry and line it over your chosen pie mold or dish. Prick the base of the pastry with a fork to prevent puffing up and bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes to blind bake the crust.
  5. Make Custard Filling: In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, salt, pepper, and milk until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
  6. Assemble Quiche: Remove the baked pie crust from the oven. Layer the base evenly with the boiled potatoes, followed by the sautéed spinach, and then sprinkle the grated cheese on top.
  7. Pour Egg Mixture: Carefully pour the egg and milk custard mixture over the layered ingredients in the crust, ensuring even coverage.
  8. Bake Quiche: Place the assembled quiche back into the oven and bake for 15 to 20 minutes until the custard is set, and the top is lightly golden.
  9. Cool and Serve: Remove the quiche from the oven and allow it to cool for 5 minutes to firm up. Unmould, slice, and serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes

  • Blind baking the crust prevents it from becoming soggy when the filling is added.
  • You can use any type of cheese, such as cheddar or gruyère, for different flavor profiles.
  • The quiche can be served warm or cold, making it ideal for meal prep or lunch boxes.
  • Adding a pinch of nutmeg to the egg mixture can enhance the flavor.
  • If you prefer, substitute milk with cream for a richer custard.
