Best Spinach Goat Cheese Quiche Recipes

GOAT CHEESE AND SPINACH QUICHE

Steps:

• MAKE THE PASTRY: In a large bowl, whisk the flour with the salt. Using a pastry blender, cut in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse meal. Lightly beat the egg with the water and sprinkle over the flour mixture. Stir with a fork to lightly blend, then squeeze gently until a dough forms. Pat into a disk, wrap in plastic and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 350°. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pastry to a 14-inch round about 1/8 inch thick. Fit the round into a 12-inch tart pan with a removable bottom and trim the overhang. Refrigerate the shell for at least 20 minutes.
• Line the tart shell with foil and fill with pie weights or rice. Bake until the pastry is firm, about 30 minutes. Remove the foil and weights and bake for about 10 minutes longer, or until golden brown. Transfer the shell to a rack to cool.
• MAKE THE FILLING: Heat a large skillet. Add a large handful of the spinach and cook over moderately high heat, stirring, until wilted. Transfer to a colander set over a bowl. Repeat until all of the spinach has been cooked; let cool. Squeeze the spinach dry and coarsely chop it. Toss the spinach with the garlic and spread it in the cooled pastry shell.
• In a medium bowl, whisk the milk with the cream, eggs, egg yolks, salt and pepper. Arrange the goat cheese rounds on the spinach. Pour the custard into the shell and bake for about 40 minutes, or until just set. Transfer the quiche to a rack to cool slightly. Cut into wedges and serve.

While crust is cooking, prepare ingredients: cook turkey bacon until crispy; drain, cool and chop into small pieces; thoroughly wash baby spinach leaves and pat completely dry; chop and mix with bacon pieces; crumble goat cheese and set aside. Mix eggs, salt, pepper, milk, and half & half together in a small bowl; add spinach, bacon, and goat cheese. Blend well.

SPINACH GOAT CHEESE QUICHE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425°F. Place milk, eggs, spinach, shallot, salt and pepper in bowl. Puree with a hand blender for a few seconds, just until mixed and pureed. Using the large holes on a box or sheet grater, grate the cheese. (Le Chevrot is a harder goat cheese; you will be able to grate it without it crumbling). Mix until combined with a spoon. Pour mixture into crust. Bake until crust is golden brown and filling is set, about 25 minutes. Cool 15-20 minutes before serving. This quiche tastes best slightly warm (a little over room temperature) as the flavours come put much better.
