We like the creamy, custardy consistency of this quiche when it's baked for 35 minutes. If you prefer a firmer texture, bake an additional 5 minutes. Ingredients:
6 tablespoons butter, softened |
2 tablespoons 1% low-fat milk |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1 large egg yolk |
5.6 ounces all-purpose flour (about 1 1/4 cups) |
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil |
1/2 cup thinly sliced green onions |
3 cups fresh baby spinach |
1 cup 1% low-fat milk |
3/4 cup (3 ounces) grated smoked gouda cheese |
3/4 teaspoon salt |
dash of grated nutmeg |
3 large eggs |
Directions:
1. To prepare crust, place butter in a large bowl; beat with a mixer at medium speed until light and fluffy. Combine milk, salt, and egg yolk in a small bowl; stir well with a whisk. Add milk mixture to butter, 1 tablespoon at a time, beating well after each addition. Add flour; beat just until combined. Press mixture into a 4-inch circle on plastic wrap; cover. Chill for 1 hour. 2. Preheat oven to 350°. 3. Unwrap and place chilled dough on a lightly floured surface. Roll dough into a 10-inch circle. Fit dough into a 9-inch pie plate. Freeze 15 minutes. Bake at 350° for 25 minutes or until lightly browned. Cool. 4. To prepare filling, heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onions; sauté 5 minutes or until tender. Add spinach; sauté 2 minutes. 5. Combine 1 cup milk and remaining ingredients in a bowl; stir well with a whisk. Stir in spinach mixture. Pour filling into crust. Bake at 350° for 35 minutes. Cut into 10 wedges. |
