Ingredients
- 150 grams All-purpose flour
- 75 grams Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons Cold water
- 3 large Eggs
- 150 ml Heavy cream
- 150 ml Whole milk
- 100 grams Swiss cheese, shredded
- 100 grams Spinach, fresh
- 100 grams Mushrooms, sliced
- 1 small Onion, chopped
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.125 teaspoon Nutmeg, ground
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 190°C (375°F).
Step 2
To prepare the pastry, mix the flour and butter in a bowl until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs.
Step 3
Gradually add cold water, one tablespoon at a time, until the dough comes together. Form into a ball, wrap in cling film, and chill for 15 minutes.
Step 4
Roll out the chilled dough on a lightly floured surface to fit a 23cm (9-inch) tart pan. Press into the pan and trim excess dough.
Step 5
Prick the base with a fork and blind bake with parchment paper and pie weights for 10 minutes. Remove weights and bake for another 5 minutes.
Step 6
In a skillet, sauté the onion and mushrooms over medium heat until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the spinach and cook until wilted, then remove from heat.
Step 7
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, and milk until combined. Stir in the Swiss cheese, sautéed vegetables, black pepper, and nutmeg.
Step 8
Pour the egg mixture into the partially baked crust and spread evenly.
Step 9
Bake in the oven for 25-30 minutes, until the filling is set and golden brown on top.
Step 10
Allow the quiche to cool slightly before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature.
