Gluten-Free Spinach and Feta Quiche
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups of gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon of salt
- 1/2 cup of unsalted butter, cold and cut into small pieces
- 4-6 tablespoons of ice water
- 1 tablespoon of olive oil
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 3 cups of fresh spinach, chopped
- 6 large eggs
- 1 1/2 cups of milk
- 1/2 teaspoon of salt
- 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon of nutmeg
- 1 1/2 cups of crumbled feta cheese
Instructions
- In a food processor, combine 1 1/2 cups of gluten-free all-purpose flour and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Add the cold butter pieces and pulse until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- While pulsing, gradually add the ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the dough comes together.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and shape it into a disk. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Roll out the chilled dough on a lightly floured surface to fit a 9-inch pie dish. Press the dough into the dish and trim any excess. Prick the bottom of the crust with a fork and bake for 15 minutes, or until lightly golden. Remove from the oven and set aside.
- In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the chopped spinach and cook until wilted. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
- In a large bowl, whisk together 6 eggs, 1 1/2 cups of milk, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper, and 1/4 teaspoon of nutmeg.
- Spread the spinach and onion mixture over the pre-baked crust. Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese on top. Pour the egg mixture over the spinach and feta.
- Bake the quiche for 30-35 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is golden brown.
- Allow the quiche to cool for 10 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
