Spinach & Feta Cheese Quiche

Ok so this recipe may not be for everyone but I do suggest that you try it at least once. I personally am a big fan of spinach so this was heaven on a dish for me. It's pretty time consuming to make and to cook but so worth it in the end. It uses common ingredients so you don't have to go crazy looking for things. Enjoy!

Crust Ingredients:

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

1/2 tsp salt

1/2 cup cold butter

3-6 Tablespoons ice water

-Mix the flour and the salt together in a medium bowl.

-Cut the butter into the flour and salt mixture until it resembles coarse peas

-Drizzle the ice water over the top of the dough (I start with 3 Tbsps and add more if needed) and gently mix the dough until it starts to come together.

-Form the shaggy dough into a disk and send it off to the refrigerator for about a half hour rest before rolling.

Fresh spinach

1 medium yellow onion, diced.

2 or 3 cloves of garlic, finely chopped

2 Tbsp butter

2 Tbsp olive oil

8 ounces feta cheese

3 eggs

2 egg yolks

1 cup whole milk

Nutmeg to taste

Salt and pepper to taste

- Chop spinach finely

-Heat the olive oil and butter until the butter is melted

-Sauté onion and garlic in melted butter/oil mix

-Add the spinach to mixture and cook until the spinach is cooked. Remove from the heat.

-Crumble the feta into the spinach mixture and mix together.

-Pull your pie dough out of the refrigerator and roll out on a lightly floured board to the size you need for your pie dish

-Place the rolled out dough in the tin, place the spinach mixture in the dough.

-Beat together the eggs, yolks and milk. Add a little pinch of nutmeg, fresh ground pepper and a pinch of salt. Pour this mixture over the spinach/feta mix in the pie shell and mix together with your hands
