  • 4 organic eggs
  • 200 g feta cheese
  • 200 g crème fraîche
  • 50 g cheddar

  • 3 roasted red peppers - from a jar
  • 2 Tbsp fresh basil leaves - finely chopped

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 200°C/400°F/Gas 6.

  • Add the finely chopped leeks and cook for another 10 mins.
  • Add the spinach and cook until wilted and vegetables liquid has evaporated. You want the mixture to be as dry as possible.
  • Remove from heat. Add finely the sliced red peppers plus drained crumbled feta. Mix well. Season to taste.
  • Beat the eggs together in a separate bowl. Blend in cream, milk, shredded cheddar cheese. Add finely chopped basil. Season to taste.
  • Line the bottom of a pie dish (Ø 23cm / 9 inches) with some baking sheet. Brush some oil over it.
  • Pour the vegetable mixture in the pie dish. Add the egg mixture on top. Spread it evenly. You also want to press some of the egg mixture in with a fork so the quiche binds evenly.

  • Leave to cool for 5-10 mins before serving. Remove from pie dish and discard baking sheet.
