Ingredients
-
1 sheet shortcrust pastry, to line a 9 inch quiche dish
-
3 shallots
-
3 slices ham (about 120g)
-
1 tablespoon olive oil
-
1 cup Baby Spinach, loosely packed and coarsely chopped
-
2 tablespoons flour
-
1 1/2 cups milk
-
3 eggs, lightly beaten
-
1/2 cup shredded cheese (whatever type you like, I use cheddar)
-
1 teaspoon paprika
-
salt and pepper
-
1 garlic clove, crushed
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 230°C.
- Chop shallots and ham, and sauté in olive oil with garlic. Remove from heat and allow to cool.
- In a bowl mix the flour with a little milk until a smooth paste forms. Add rest of milk, eggs, paprika, salt and pepper.
- To the milk mixture, add the sautéed shallots and ham, cheese and spinach. Mix well.
- Prick the base of the pastry with a fork and gently pour in the filling mixture. Spread out evenly.
- Bake for 30 minutes. If necessary, cover with foil for the last 10 minutes to prevent over-browning.
- Remove from oven and leave for 5 minutes before serving.
