1 package frozen shortcrust pastry dough
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 cups packed fresh spinach leaves, trimmed and washed thoroughly
4 large eggs
2/3 cup creme fraiche (you can also use heavy cream or milk)
1/3 cup crumbled feta cheese
6 cherry tomatoes, halved
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons fresh chives, chopped
fresh ground black pepper

Steps:

Two hours before you want to make the quiche, take the dough out of the freezer to defrost.
When you're ready to start, lay the dough into either a 10 inch quiche or springform baking pan, making sure you have enough dough to form a crust around the edge.
The crust should come 1 to 1 1/2 inches up the side of the pan.
Crumble the feta cheese onto the bottom of the crust.
Pour the olive oil into a saucepan and, when it is heated, throw in the spinach and cook until wilted.
Spread the spinach over the feta cheese.
Beat the eggs, garlic and creme fraiche together.
Pour over top of the feta cheese and spinach.
Place cherry tomatoes on top of the quiche.
Sprinkle chives and ground pepper on top.
Bake at 350 F or 180 C for 45 minutes.
