Spinach and Goat Cheese Quiche with Beet Dough



I love quiches....to me it is a complete meal!!...In summer, I eat it with a salad, and in winter with a warm soup.

Quiche
2 1/2 cups of all purpose flour
120 grams of butter
1 teaspoon of Salt
water as needed
3 tablespoons of beet powder (freeze dried beet)

Mix the flour with salt and beet powder. Add the butter, and combine it until you have a sand like texture. Add cold water as needed to make a firm dough. Let it rest for 1 hour in the fridge. With a roll pin, flatten the dough and place it in a quiche or cake mold. Bake it with parchment paper and beans on top for 15 minutes at 375F.

Filling
300 grams of spinach
150 grams of goat cheese
2 garlic cloves chopped
3 eggs
80 grams of parmiggiano cheese grated
1 teaspoon dry oregano
1 teaspoon of salt
Olive oil

Wash and chop the spinach. In a pan, heat the olive oil and sautee the spinach with the garlic, salt and oregano. Let it cool. Mix it with the parmiggiano cheese. 

Spread the goat cheese on top of the quiche semi-bake dough. Place the spinach mix on top. Add the beaten egg on top of the spinach.  Bake it  for 25 minutes at 350F or until it is well cooked.
