Fillings:
- 1 Tablespoon olive oil
- 6 ounces fresh spinach leaves
- 8 ounces sliced white mushrooms
- Salt and pepper
- 6 eggs
- 3 ounces crumbled feta cheese
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
Crust:
- 2 cups plain flour
- 150g butter, chilled, chopped
- 1 egg yolk
- 1/4 cup water, chilled
To make the crust:
- Place flour and butter in a food processor or mix them together using electric dough mixer. Process until mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs.
- Add egg yolk and chilled water. Process until dough just comes together.
- Turn on to a lightly floured surface. Knead until smooth.
- Using a lightly floured rolling pin, flatten dough into a 15cm round. Wrap in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
- Lightly grease two 12-hole, 1 1/2 tablespoon-capacity round-based patty pans.
- Roll out pastry between 2 sheets of baking paper until 3mm thick.
- Using a round pastry cutter (and since I don't have one, I used a round glass to cut the dough) , cut 24 rounds from pastry.
- Press pastry rounds into prepared pans. Pierce bases with a fork. Freeze for 20 minutes or until firm.
- During the waiting time, reheat oven to 350°F. Preheat it for 30 minutes.
- Using a fork, lightly beat 1 egg in a bowl. Brush egg over pastry rounds. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes or until light golden. Set aside.
To make the fillings:
- Meanwhile, in a medium skillet heat the olive oil and sauté fresh spinach leaves and sliced mushrooms for 4 to 6 minutes, or until mushrooms have browned and spinach has “melted.”
- In a mixing bowl, whisk the eggs with the feta crumbled.
- Gently add the sautéed mushrooms and spinach to the prepade crust pan. Then pour the egg-feta mixture over the top.
- Place the quiche into the preheated oven and cook for 30 minutes.
- Remove from oven, add the shredded mozzarella to the top and return to the oven for 5 to 10 minutes, or until cheese has melted. Then serve
