Ingredients

Quiche crust:

  • 200 g all-purpose flour 7 oz/ 1 ⅔ cups, Note
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 90 g unsalted butter very cold, 3.2 oz/ ⅓ cup + 1 tablespoon
  • 1 teaspoon dried Herbs de Provence
  • 60 ml cold water 2 fl.oz/ ¼ cup

Filling:

  • 2 tablespoons dried breadcrumbs
  • 2 bunches of green onions
  • 3 mini bell peppers of different colors or 1 normal sized bell pepper
  • 2 eggs
  • 100 g feta 3.5/ oz/ scant 1 cup, crumbled
  • 100 g grated Gouda or Cheddar, 3.5 oz/ scant 1 cup
  • 1 small bunch of dill

Instructions

Quiche crust:

  • Make crust: Place the flour, salt, cold butter cubes, and dried herbs in the food processor. Process until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs, then add the cold water and process for just a few seconds until the dough starts to come together.
  • Knead: Turn the dough onto the working surface and knead briefly to form a ball.
  • Refrigerate: Wrap it in plastic foil and refrigerate it for about an hour.
  • Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius/ 360 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Take the dough out of the fridge, flatten it well, and press it in the pie dish. You could also roll it, but I find pressing it works just as well in this case.
  • Bake crust: Prick it with a fork all over and bake it for about 10 to 12 minutes until slightly golden.

Quiche filling:

  • Prepare ingredients: Crumble the feta with your hand or with a fork, grate the Gouda or Cheddar cheese, cut the green onions into fine rings, chop the peppers into fine cubes and chop the dill.
  • Beat the eggs, add the cheese, vegetables and herbs, some salt and pepper, and mix well.
  • Take the quiche crust out of the oven and sprinkle the dried breadcrumbs evenly on top. This will prevent the dough from becoming soggy.
  • Pour the filling into the form and continue baking for 30 to 35 minutes until the quiche is golden and set.
  • Take out of the oven, let cool slightly and serve with a green salad on the side.
