Cooking Instructions for making Cheese, spinach and sour cream quiche
Making the Pastry (if not using pre-made crust)
Prepare the Pastry:
Place the flour, butter, and salt into the Thermomix bowl. Mix for 10 seconds / Speed 6, until it resembles breadcrumbs.
Add cold water gradually while mixing for 10-15 seconds / Speed 4, until the dough just starts to come together.
Remove the dough from the Thermomix bowl, form it into a ball, wrap in cling film, and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
Roll Out & Prepare Crust:
Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).
Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface to fit a quiche or pie tin.
Place the rolled dough into the tin, trim any excess, and prick the base with a fork.
Blind-bake the crust for 10-12 minutes. Remove from oven and set aside.
Cook the Spinach:
Place spinach in the Thermomix bowl. Cook for 2 minutes / 100°C / Speed 1 or until wilted.
Transfer spinach to a bowl, drain excess liquid if necessary, and set aside.
Chop the Onion and Garlic:
Add the onion and garlic to the Thermomix bowl. Chop for 3 seconds / Speed 5.
Scrape down the sides of the bowl, then sauté for 3 minutes / 100°C / Speed 1.
Mix the Filling:
Add the wilted spinach, grated cheese, eggs, sour cream, milk, salt, pepper, and optional nutmeg to the Thermomix bowl.
Mix for 10 seconds / Speed 4 until well combined. Adjust seasoning to taste.
Step 3: Assembling and Baking
Assemble the Quiche:
Pour the filling mixture into the pre-baked pastry shell.
Bake:
Bake in the preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for 35-40 minutes, or until the filling is set and golden on top.
Let the quiche cool for a few minutes before slicing.
