Ingredients

  • 250 g Spinach
  • - Chicken Breast
  • 6 pcs White Eggs
  • 250 ml Pure Milk Whipping Cream
  • 200 g Cheddar Cheese
  • 320 g Shortcrust Pastry Sheet
  • 500Ml Gaia Extra Virgin Olive Oil (500ml)
  • - Thyme Leaves
  • 50 g Parsley Leaves
  • 1 kg Bell Peppers
  • 50 g Black Pepper
  • 100 g Salt
  • 500 g Tomato - Hybrid

Instructions

  1. 1. Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and grease a 9-inch pie dish with olive oil. Roll out the shortcrust pastry and press it into the pie dish, trimming the edges as needed.
  2. 2. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Dice the chicken breast into small cubes and season with salt, pepper, thyme, and parsley. Cook until the chicken is fully cooked and lightly browned, about 8-10 minutes. Set aside to cool slightly.
  3. 3. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, and half of the grated cheddar cheese until smooth. Add the diced tomato, bell peppers, and spinach, mixing well.
  4. 4. Spread the cooked chicken evenly over the pastry base. Pour the egg and vegetable mixture over the chicken, ensuring it covers the base completely. Sprinkle the remaining cheddar cheese on top.
  5. 5. Bake the quiche in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the filling is set and the top is golden brown. Remove from the oven and let it cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing.
  6. 6. Serve warm or at room temperature, paired with a crisp side salad or fresh bread for a complete meal.
