Method

Crust Preparation

1

Make the Dough

In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Cut in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in the cold water, a tablespoon at a time, until the dough comes together.

2

Chill the Dough

Shape the dough into a disk, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

3

Pre-bake the Crust

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Roll out the chilled dough and fit it into a 9-inch pie pan. Prick the bottom with a fork and bake for 15 minutes until lightly golden.

Filling Preparation

4

Prepare the Filling

In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, salt, black pepper, and nutmeg. Stir in the cheese, bacon or ham, and spinach.

5

Bake the Quiche

Pour the filling into the pre-baked crust. Bake in the oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the filling is set and lightly golden on top.

Salad Preparation

6

Assemble the Salad

In a large bowl, combine the mixed greens, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, and feta cheese.

7

Dress the Salad

In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt, and pepper. Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss to coat.
