Ingredients (serves 4)

Melted butter, for greasing
1 300g pkt frozen chopped English spinach, thawed
200g fresh ricotta
4 eggs, at room temperature
3 green shallots, trimmed, thinly sliced
Salt & ground black pepper, to taste
100g Bulgarian feta, crumbled
6 sheets filo pastry, thawed
2 1/2 tbs olive oil
20g (1/4 cup) finely shredded parmesan
100g snow pea sprouts, ends trimmed
1/2 green cucumber, thinly sliced
3 tsp balsamic vinegar


Method

Preheat oven to 220°C. Brush a shallow 23cm (base measurement) fluted flan tin with removable base with melted butter to grease.

Use your hands to squeeze the liquid from the spinach. Use electric beaters to beat the ricotta in a medium bowl until almost smooth. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition until well combined. Add the spinach, green shallots, pepper and ? the feta, and use a wooden spoon to mix until well combined.

Lay 1 sheet of filo on a flat surface. Place 1 1/2 tbs of oil in a small dish. Brush filo with a little oil, place another sheet of filo on top and brush with oil again. Repeat this process with remaining filo. Brush top sheet lightly with oil. Place layered filo in greased tin and trim the excess. Spoon spinach mixture into pastry-lined tin and smooth the surface. Sprinkle with the remaining feta and parmesan. Bake in preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until filling is golden.

Meanwhile, combine the snow pea sprouts and cucumber in a large bowl. Place the remaining oil, vinegar, salt and pepper in a small jug and whisk well. Pour over salad and toss to combine.

Remove quiche from pan, cut into wedges and serve with salad.



Notes
leftovers: use the green shallots in vegetarian rice paper rolls and wonton miso soup.

Use the pastry to make baklava.

Use the parmesan in roast pear, mizuna & parmesan salad and risottos.

Use the snow pea sprouts and cucmber in vegetarian rice paper rolls.

Use the vinegar in balsamic veal with sweet potato & swede mash and salad dressings.

There is one where you make it with biscuit baking mix rather than baking in a pie shell. Mix together milk, egg, butter, baking mix and parmesan cheese and the spinach and pour into a quiche dish and bake for 50 minutes.
