This tasty quiche recipe is a combination of two of my favourite foods – roast pumpkin and fetta – all combined in a delicious savoury tart.
This vegetarian quiche is perfect as a light meal on it’s own, or teamed up with a side or two for a family dinner. It is equally tasty cold, and goes great in the lunchbox too. You can easily convert the pastry and mixture to a mini quiche recipe, simply by making them in a pie maker or muffin tin!
Pumpkin, Fetta & Spinach Quiche
This Pumpkin, Fetta & Spinach quiche recipe is a quick and healthy light meal, and tastes great either hot or cold. Perfect for family dinners or lunches.
Servings: 6
Ingredients
- 2 sheets shortcrust or puff pastry thawed
- 1 tsp oil
- 2 cups pumpkin peeled, deseeded and chopped
- 1/2 small onion diced
- 150 g fetta chopped
- 3 eggs
- 3/4 cup thickened or heavy cream
- 1 tsp basil pesto
- 1 cup baby spinach leaves
- Salt & pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 180C. Toss the pumpkin, onion and oil together in a bowl. Line a tray with baking paper and spread the pumpkin mixture out on it. Place in the oven to cook for 20-30 minutes while you prepare the rest of the quiche.
- Line a base and sides of a flan or quiche dish with the pastry, ensuring you press it in the tin evenly and that there are no gaps. Place in the oven for 5-10 minutes while you prepare the filling.
- Whisk together the eggs, cream, pesto and salt/pepper in a jug until well combined.
- Remove pumpkin and pastry from oven. Scatter pumpkin mixture, fetta and spinach over the pastry, then pour over egg mixture.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, until quiche is set in the middle.
