Eggs are high in protein, vitamin A, vitamin D, vitamin B12, riboflavin, and selenium whereas cheese is rich in calcium and phosphorus, minerals that are important for bone health and development.

Ingredients

  • For the crust:

  • 1 2/3 cups of spelt or white flour

  • 5 tbsp of cubed butter

  • 1 egg

  • 2 tbsp water

  • 1 tsp sea salt

  • For the filling:

  • 3.5-4 ounces of feta cheese/goat cheese/cheddar cheese

  • 5.5 ounces of spinach

  • 4 eggs

  • Salt, pepper, and a pinch of basil to taste

Directions

  • Prepare the crust: Start by mixing the flour and cubed butter until the mixture resembles crumbs no bigger than a pea. Add in the egg, water, and salt, then let the mixture rest in the refrigerator for 30 minutes. Once chilled, spread the dough onto the bottom of a 10-inch diameter baking pan, creating a border for your tart. Use a fork to poke holes all over the unbaked crust, then bake it for 15 minutes at 356°F (180°C) until lightly golden.
  • Steam the spinach: While the crust is baking, chop and steam the spinach in a little water until wilted. If using baby spinach, there's no need to chop it beforehand. Let the spinach cool, then spread it evenly over the baked crust. Sprinkle your choice of cheese (feta, goat, or cheddar) over the spinach.
  • Prepare the egg mixture: In a separate bowl, beat the eggs with a wire whisk and season with salt, pepper, and a pinch of basil. Pour the egg mixture over the spinach and cheese filling.
  • Bake the quiche: Return the tart to the oven and bake for an additional 20-25 minutes at 356°F (180°C) until the quiche is nicely browned.
  • Serve and enjoy: Once baked, allow the quiche to cool slightly before slicing into wedges. Serve it up as a delicious and nutritious meal for your little ones to enjoy!

Notes

  • Tip: Feel free to get creative with the filling! You can swap out the spinach and cheese for your favorite ingredients, such as sautéed zucchini, slices of buffalo mozzarella, and whole basil leaves.
