Ingredients
  

Pastry

  • 400 g Plain White Flour
  • 100 g Wholemeal Flour
  • 250 g Butter
  • 7 tbsp Water
  • ½ tsp Ground Black Pepper
  • 1 tsp Dry Veggie Stock Cube

Quiche Filling

  • 8 Eggs
  • 100 ml Milk
  • 100 ml Plain Yoghurt
  • 250 g Cheese (Cheddar)
  • Mixed Herbs (optional)
  • Salt and Pepper
  • Paprika
  • 25 g Watercress (Finely chopped)
  • 25 g Spinach (Finely chopped)
  • 25 g Rocket (Finely chopped)

Instructions
 

  • Pre-heat oven to 180° c Fan/200°c/ 392°F.
  • For the pastry, add butter to the flour and rub in until it resembles breadcrumbs. Add the pepper and stock powder and slowly add in the water until it forms a dough. I prefer to use my electric mixer as there's less mess.
  • Roll out to about 5mm thick and place in greased quiche dish. Mine is a large dish so if you have small dishes it will make 2 but you may need extra filling ingredients.
  • Prick the pastry all over with a fork and blind bake for 10 - 15 mins in the oven until dry and slightly golden.
  • Mix the eggs with the milk and yoghurt in a bowl. Mix in the watercress, spinach, rocket, salt and pepper then add to the pastry case.
  • Top with the grated cheese, paprika and mixed herbs if using.
  • Bake in the oven for about 35 - 40 mins, depending on the size of your dish. Serve your lovely quiche hot or cold.
