Method

Crust Preparation

  1. 1

    Make the Dough

    In a large bowl, mix the all-purpose flour and salt. Cut in the cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

  2. 2

    Add Water

    Gradually add cold water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough comes together.

  3. 3

    Chill the Dough

    Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Filling Preparation

  1. 4

    Sauté Vegetables

    In a skillet over medium heat, sauté the spinach and diced red bell pepper until the spinach is wilted, about 3-4 minutes.

  2. 5

    Prepare Egg Mixture

    In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, black pepper, and thyme until well combined.

  3. 6

    Add Cheese and Vegetables

    Crumble the goat cheese into the egg mixture and add the sautéed vegetables. Stir gently to combine.

Assemble and Bake

  1. 7

    Preheat Oven

    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

  2. 8

    Roll Out Dough

    On a lightly floured surface, roll out the chilled dough to fit a 9-inch pie dish. Place the dough into the dish and trim the edges.

  3. 9

    Pour Filling

    Pour the egg and vegetable mixture into the crust, spreading it evenly.

  4. 10

    Bake the Quiche

    Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes or until the filling is set and the top is lightly golden.

  5. 11

    Cool and Serve

    Let the quiche cool for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Salad Preparation

  1. 12

    Prepare Salad

    In a large bowl, combine mixed greens, halved cherry tomatoes, and sliced cucumber.
