Spinach and Feta Quiche

The perfect combination of spinach and feta  in a light crispy crust makes this quiche an excellent picnic lunch as it can be prepared the day before and served either warmed ar cold. I love making the mini quiche during the weekend as it is also quick and easy for the lunchbox on a rushed Monday morning. Try it, it is really simple and quick to prepare.

Ingredients
  

  • For the crust
  • 200 g wholemeal or plain flour
  • 100 g butter or margarine
  • 60 ml buttermilk
  • 20 g grated cheese
  • 10 ml water
  • For the filling
  • 200 g chopped spinach
  • 100 g feta cheese
  • 1 clove of garlic
  • 1 small onion choped
  • 2 eggs
  • 125 ml cream cheese or cottage cheese
  • 2 ml dried mixed herbs optional

Instructions
 

  • Start by preparing the crust. Sift flour into a bowl and rub in the margarine with your fingertips until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs.
  • Add the buttermilk, cheese and water and gently bring the dough together into a ball. Avoid kneading the dough too much as this will cause it to become stiff.
  • Place the bowl of dough in the refrigerator for about 15 minutes. This will make the dough easier to handle.
  • Next make the filling by frying the onions and garlic for a few minutes in a little margarine or oil.
  • Add the spinach and cook until wilted. Crumble the feta and add to the spinach. Remove from the heat and set aside.
  • In a saucepan or jug, beat the eggs, add cream cheese or cottage cheese and dried mixed herbs and mix well.
  • Remove dough from refrigerator. Press dough into a greased ovenproof quiche tin.
  • Spoon the spinach and feta mixture into the pressed dough.
  • Pour the beaten egg and cream mixture over the top of the quiche and bake in a preheated oven of 180 degrees celcius for 15 to 20 minutes until the top is set and the crust is evenly browned.
  • Remove from oven and allow to cool for about 15 minutes before serving.
