Spinach and blue cheese quiche
I wanted to make a quiche back in 2003, but got tired of the usual ingredients and decided to concoct my own vegetarian creation with spinach, blue cheese and garlic. I hope it will be a good recipe for any vegetarians using this site. Enjoy!
Ingredients
Serves: 4
- 150g self-raising flour
- 100g margarine (I find Flora works best or you can use block margarine)
- a little water to bind the pastry
- 100g mature cheddar
- 50g blue cheese (Danish Blue is best)
- 3 eggs
- 1 bag of fresh spinach leaves
- 2 big cloves of garlic

- Combine the flour and margarine and rub in to form crumbs.
- Add a little cold water to bind the flour and margarine together, but not too much. About five to six teaspoons. You don't want the pastry too sticky!
- Roll the pastry out and press it into a greased pyrex dish, approximately 4 inches deep by 9 inches wide.
- Heat the oven to Gas mark 5 / 190 C / 375F and bake the pastry blind for about 10 minutes.
- Wash the spinach and drain. Set to one side.
- Grate the cheddar and crumble the blue cheese into it.
- Crush two cloves of garlic and keep to one side.
- Beat the eggs and add the cheese, garic and spinach to it.
- Pour the mixture over the prepared pastry base and allow to cook for 45 minutes to 1 hour until the top is set.

Used different ingredients. Throw in some sun-dried tomato for a really nice sweet tone in there as well. - 11 Sep 2009
Altered ingredient amounts. Also 1 clove of garlic and only half an hour in the oven works better for me. If I'd left it 45 mins I think it would have come out charred. - 24 Nov 2009
I used this recipe as a basis upon which I made the tweaks I posted. Turned out very nicely like that. Haven't tried completely to recipe, however. - 24 Nov 2009
