How to prepare it step by step?
Preparation
- Preheat the oven to 180°C. Place the shortcrust pastry in a tart pan and prick the base with a fork to prevent it from puffing up during cooking. Let it rest in the refrigerator while you prepare the filling.
- Finely chop the onion and sauté in a pan with a little oil for about 5 minutes, until translucent and soft. Add the fresh spinach and cook over medium heat for 3-4 minutes until it reduces and releases its water. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
- In a large bowl, beat the 3 eggs together with the cooking cream. Add salt, pepper, and a pinch of nutmeg to taste. This mixture will be the liquid base for the filling.
- Distribute the spinach and sautéed onion over the shortcrust pastry base. Crumble the goat cheese and sprinkle it evenly on top of the vegetables.
- Pour the egg and cream mixture over the spinach and cheese, ensuring everything is well covered.
- Bake the quiche for 30-35 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is lightly browned. Test for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center; if it comes out clean, it's ready.
- Let the quiche rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving. This allows it to set and ensures clean cuts.
