Ingredients
  

For the Base
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter chilled and cubed
  • 1/4 cup cold water
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
For the Filling
  • 1 cup spinach fresh or thawed
  • 1 cup mushrooms sliced
  • 1 cup bell pepper diced
  • 1 cup cheddar cheese shredded
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup milk or cream
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Method
 

Prepare the Crust
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Add the chilled butter and mix until crumbly.
  2. Gradually add cold water, mixing until a dough forms. Wrap in plastic and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
Prepare the Filling
  1. In a skillet, sauté the mushrooms and bell pepper over medium heat until softened, about 5 minutes.
  2. Add the spinach and cook until wilted, then remove from heat and let cool slightly.
Assemble the Quiche
  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Roll out the chilled dough and fit it into a pie dish.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, black pepper, and nutmeg.
  3. Spread the sautéed vegetables evenly over the crust, then sprinkle with cheddar cheese.
  4. Pour the egg mixture over the filling, ensuring it's evenly distributed.
Bake the Quiche
  1. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the quiche is set and golden on top.
  2. Let cool for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
