Ingredients
  • 1 1/4 cups All-purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon Salt
  • 1/2 cup Cold unsalted butter, cubed
  • 4-6 tablespoons Ice water
  • 3 Eggs
  • 1/2 cup Heavy cream
  • 5 ounces Fresh spinach, chopped
  • 1/2 cup Feta cheese, crumbled
  • 1/4 teaspoon Nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon Salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon Black pepper

Making the Crust

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour and salt. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually add the ice water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough just comes together. Form the dough into a disc, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Preparing the Filling

In a bowl, whisk together the eggs and heavy cream. Season with salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Stir in the chopped spinach and crumbled feta cheese.

Assembling the Quiches

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to about 1/8 inch thickness. Use a cookie cutter or a glass to cut out circles slightly larger than the mini muffin tin cups. Gently press each circle into a mini muffin tin. Pour the spinach and feta filling into each crust-lined cup, filling almost to the top.

Baking

Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is set. Let cool in the muffin tin for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve warm or at room temperature.
