Description
A savory quiche filled with creamy eggs, fresh spinach, tangy feta, and juicy cherry tomatoes, all baked in a flaky puff pastry crust.
Ingredients
- 8.5 oz puff pastry (rolled out to fit into your pie dish and over the rim)
- 5 large eggs
- 2/3 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup milk
- 2 cups baby spinach (chopped if larger)
- 1/4 cup grated parmesan
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- black pepper (to taste)
- 6 oz feta cheese (coarsely crumbled)
- 1/2 pound cherry tomatoes
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a 9-inch (23 cm) deep-dish pie plate and fit the puff pastry inside, letting it hang over the rim. Prick the bottom with a fork.
- Line the pastry with parchment paper and fill with pie weights or dried beans. Blind bake for 15 minutes, then remove weights and bake for another 10 minutes.
- In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, cream, and milk. Stir in spinach, parmesan, oregano, salt, and black pepper.
- Remove the crust from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 360°F (180°C).
- Scatter feta cheese over the crust, pour in the egg mixture, and arrange olive oil–brushed cherry tomatoes on top.
- Bake for 20 minutes, then cover the crust edges with foil or a pie shield. Continue baking for 30–35 minutes until the center is set.
- Let rest for 10 minutes before serving, or cool completely and refrigerate for up to 24 hours.
Notes
- Use frozen spinach if fresh is unavailable; thaw and drain well before adding.
- Substitute feta with goat cheese for a milder flavor.
- Cover crust edges early if they brown too quickly.
- Serve warm or chilled with a simple green salad.
- Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
