Pumpkin, Spinach and Goat Cheese Quiche

Step 1

For the pie crust: preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Dice butter and mix quickly with flour and water until the ingredients stick together and form a firm dough. Roll a large rectangle and line a 11 x 7-inch (about 28 x 18 cm or slightly bigger) form with the crust.*

Step 2

Cook the chopped pumpkin in a large volume of water until soft and tender. Sieve, and puree with a fork.

Step 3

In a medium frying pan, heat olive oil and once hot, melt the onions. When they start to golden, add sugar and caramelize them, about 5-10 minutes.

Step 4

In another frying pan, saute the spinach with olive oil until they reduce by half. Season with salt and pepper, and set aside.

Step 5

Mix the eggs with the goat cheese. Add the walnuts, mashed pumpkins, onions and spinach. Season with salt, pepper, and a pinch of nutmeg.

Step 6

Pour the mixture onto the crust, and bake for about 40 minutes, or until cooked through.
