Ingredients
For the crust:
1 1/2 cups flour
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 cup butter, chilled and cubed
1/4 cup ice water
For the filling:
1 tbsp olive oil
1 onion, chopped
1 bell pepper, chopped
1 zucchini, chopped
1 cup fresh spinach, chopped
1/2 cup feta cheese, crumbled
6 eggs
1/2 cup milk
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). 2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour and salt for the crust. Cut in the butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. 3. Add the ice water and stir until the dough comes together. Form it into a ball and flatten it into a disc. Wrap it in plastic and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. 4. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion, bell pepper, and zucchini and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the spinach and cook until wilted, about 1 minute. Remove from heat and let cool slightly. 5. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper for the filling. 6. Roll out the chilled dough on a lightly floured surface and transfer it to a 9-inch pie dish. Trim the edges and prick the bottom with a fork. 7. Add the cooled vegetable mixture to the pie crust and sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese over it. 8. Pour the egg mixture over the vegetables and cheese. 9. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the quiche is set and the crust is golden brown. Let cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
