Ingredients
Method
For Crust
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Add the diced butter and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour (155 grams), ½ teaspoon kosher salt, ½ cup unsalted butter (115 grams)
- Gradually add ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough comes together.3-4 tablespoons ice water
- Shape the dough into a ball, wrap in plastic wrap, and allow to chill in the refrigerator for 15 minutes, while you preheat the oven and work on the filling to save time.
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Roll out the chilled dough on a floured surface to about 1/8-inch thickness.
- Use a round cutter or a glass (about 3-4 inches in diameter) to cut circles from the dough. Press each circle into the cavities of a standard muffin tin, trimming any excess dough. Prick the bottoms with a fork.
- Bake the crusts for 8 minutes, then set aside.
For Quiche Filling
- Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté the spinach for 2-3 minutes, until wilted. Add the sun-dried tomatoes, olives and feta cheese and remove from the heat.1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil, 2 cups fresh spinach, ½ cup sun-dried tomatoes, ½ cup Kalamata olives, 1 cup feta cheese
- In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, half and half or milk.4 medium eggs, 1 cup half and half, ½ teaspoon kosher salt, ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- Evenly divide the spinach filling among the pre-baked crusts in the muffin tin.
- Follow with the egg mixture into each crust, filling just to the top but not overflowing.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the filling is set and the tops are lightly golden.
- Let the mini quiches cool for 5 minutes in the tin before carefully removing them with a small knife or spatula.
