Equipment

Method
 

  1. Knead a soft dough from the dough ingredients. If the dough is too dry, a tablespoon of cold water may help. Chill for 30 minutes.
  2. Roll out the dough on a clean surface until you get a thin sheet of approximately 5 mm (1/5 of an inch).
  3. Transfer the rolled-out dough into a greased or parchment-lined tart pan or pie dish. Prick the base with a fork.
  4. Pre-bake the dough for 10 minutes at 180 °C/356 °F.
  5. Remove the partially baked crust from the oven and place the spinach and chopped green onion/scallions on top.
  6. Mix the eggs, cream, seasonings, and cheese in a bowl.
  7. Pour the egg mixture over the spinach.
  8. If you're using frozen spinach, it should be thawed and squeezed dry to avoid excess moisture.
  9. Bake for 45 minutes at 180°C/356°F or until the filling has a firm consistency and a golden crust.
  10. Allow to cool for 10-15 minutes before slicing and enjoy with salad or your favorite sauce.
  11. It can be refrigerated for up to 3 days.
