Ingredients

• 200 grams all-purpose flour
• 100 grams unsalted butter
• 3 tablespoons cold water
• 4 large eggs
• 200 milliliters heavy cream
• 100 milliliters whole milk
• 120 grams grated Gruyère cheese
• 100 grams baby spinach
• 100 grams cherry tomatoes
• 100 grams cooked bacon or diced ham
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoons ground black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoons ground nutmeg

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F).

Step 2

In a food processor or large mixing bowl, combine the flour and butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually add cold water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough holds together.

Step 3

Form the dough into a ball, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes.

Step 4

On a floured surface, roll out the dough into a circle large enough to fit a 9-inch (23 cm) tart pan. Gently press the dough into the pan and trim the edges. Refrigerate for an additional 10 minutes.

Step 5

Line the crust with parchment paper and fill with pie weights or dried beans. Blind bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Remove the weights and parchment, and bake for another 5 minutes. Set aside to cool slightly.

Step 6

In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, and milk. Stir in the salt, pepper, and nutmeg.

Step 7

Scatter the spinach evenly over the bottom of the cooled crust, followed by the cherry tomatoes, bacon or ham, and grated Gruyère cheese.

Step 8

Slowly pour the egg and cream mixture over the fillings, ensuring an even distribution.

Step 9

Bake the quiche in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the filling is set and the top is golden brown.

Step 10

Remove from the oven and allow the quiche to cool for 10 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
