My son has a cricket match this afternoon and even though they only play 20 overs, it takes the whole afternoon. Cooking supper after all this, is just not going to happen, so I quickly made this quiche this morning. It is so simple. I have refined it to two steps, provided that you have the right ingredients.
Spinach and Bacon Quiche
The Crust
Place the following in processor:
250ml flour
250ml strong cheddar cheese, grated
125ml soft butter
1 tsp dry mustard
Process until it comes together in a ball of pastry - rest for 20min(if you can).
Press dough out into a quiche pan.
The filling
250gr bacon pieces - fried in some olive oil
200gr spinach - I use frozen spinach that is available at most supermarkets
200gr feta cheese - crumbled
250 gr cream cheese
4 eggs.
125ml grated parmesan cheese.
Mix all the ingredients for the filling together and pour in pastry case and bake for 30 min at 180 degrees. I served mine with a simple salad - roasted butternut, red onions, feta, rocket and little plum tomatoes.

Quiche seems to have fallen out of favor over the years, but it can't be beat for a quick, light, yet substantial meal. I love the idea of sharp cheddar with mustard in your crust. Sounds really yummy!
Quiches are delicious and I never understood why they were maligned.
I'll have mine with a salad please.
Susan - you must try the crust recipe and make little cheese biscuits to serve with drinks or put in lunch boxes - thanks for stopping by....
What's your favorite kinda quiche. Peter?
sometimes quiche is just the perfect meal
I have never really loved quiche, maybe because my mom doesn't make it with a crust. Yours looks wonderful though!
hahahahah you really know how to tickle my mind and imagination, I think I shud start embarking this journey of pastries! I am now full of hunger! well done babe!
That quiche looks good and sounds really tasty. I have yet to try making a quiche but it is on my to try list.
kat - you're so right!thx for stopping by...
jessy - You know I have seen blocks of ice-cold quiche on a platter, and that gave me the shivers too, but I promise this recipe is different.
big boys oven - this is the simplest way to start and the result is 100% flop proof.Thx for your visit.
kevin - go for it!
This looks really tasty. Quiches are a rare treat for me--I've never thought to make one myself. I might spy one at a party and hungrily gobble a slice or two (or three). Sounds like something I should try at home now, too!
Mike, if you try once to make a quiche, you will try again...and again, because the flavor possibilities are endless.
I have those cricket days too, they do seem to go on forever! I love your pastry, a definite keeper.
rose þ - what's happened to you girl, I look on your blog religiously, but no new posts. Sorry about the coffee this week, but I have like different couples coming to stay over, each with their own culinary preferences - quite a challenge, come to think of it.
I love a good quiche. I have never seen one with cheddar cheese in the crust. That looks like a good one to try.
Hi Nina, first time here. I did searching on google and landing on your blog. I've been thinking to make quiche and I find your recipe is quite easy to make. Thank you for sharing.
tracy - thx for visiting. I promise, once you've made this quiche, you will never make another recipe.
dwiana - wow, that is good to know that I am on the Google rankings.... Please visit again.
