Spinach Quiche

And I am back!! It has been quite a wait, but I am back with some great recipes. Starting off with a Spinach Quiche - very delicious, very filling and baby-approved!!

Preparation Time: 30min
Cooking Time: 50 - 60min
Difficulty Level: Easy
Serves: 6-8

Ingredients

Crust:
2cups flour
1/4t salt
2tbs sugar
200ml cooking oil
3tbs milk

Filling:

500g chopped spinach (I cooked from frozen)
1/2cup milk
salt & pepper to taste
large pinch nutmeg
1 onion chopped
1tbs butter
1cup milk
3 eggs
3tbs mayonnaise
150g grated cheddar cheese
1/4cup flour
1/4t cayenne pepper
1 rind feta cheese 
grated mozzarella cheese for topping

Method

Crust: Sift the dry ingredients together. Combine the milk and oil very well, I used a stick blender. 

Add the liquid to the flour and mix well. 

Spray a oven proof baking dish with non-stick spray, and line with the dough. Set aside.

 Filling: Cook the spinach in a little water (remember spinach has a lot of natural water, and we don't want to throw it away, as it contains a lot of nutrients) until tender. Add the 1/2 cup of milk, salt, pepper and nutmeg and cook until soft. Set aside. 

Fry the onion in the butter until lightly browned. Set aside.

Blend the cup of milk, eggs and mayonnaise well. I used the stick blender. Place the cheddar cheese in a bowl and cover with the 1/4 cup of flour. 

Add the liquid to the cheese and mix well. Add the cayenne pepper and mix well. 

Add the onion and cheese mixture to the spinach and mix well. 

Pour into the baking dish  and level out. Add the mozzarella to taste on top.

Bake in the oven at 160degrees C for 50 - 60 minutes, until firm and cheese lightly browned.

And enjoy!!
