INGREDIENTS

  • 1 package of frozen shortcrust pastry dough
  • 1 tablespoon of olive oil

METHOD

  1. Defrost dough 2 hours before making the quiche.

  4. Crumble the feta cheese onto the bottom of the crust.
  5. Pour the olive oil into a saucepan and when it is heated, add spinach and cook until wilted.
  6. Spread the spinach over the feta cheese.
  7. Beat the eggs, garlic, and creme fraiche together.
  8. Pour over top of the feta cheese and spinach.
  9. Place cherry tomatoes on top of the quiche.
  10. Sprinkle chives and ground pepper on top.
  11. Bake at 350 for 45 minutes.
