Method
- To make the pastry, first sift the plain flour into a large bowl, add the butter and rub in with your fingertips until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs.
- Next add in salt, then add 2-3 tbsp water and mix till the dough is firm. Knead the dough briefly and gently on a floured surface. Then wrap it in cling film and chill for 20 minutes.
- Roll out the dough into a large circle of about 2mm thickness. It should be large enough to line a 10 inch pie tin. Press the dough onto the bottom and sides of the tin; make sure all cracks are covered. With a fork, prick holes on the crust.
- Preheat the oven to 180°C. Bake the pastry in the oven for 15 minutes or until it starts to turn golden in colour. Remove and keep aside.
- To assemble the quiche, whisk together QL Omega Eggs, cream and milk. Season to taste with salt and black pepper.
- Spread baby spinach over the tart base. Line tuna chunks over the baby spinach.
- Pour in the egg mixture until it almost reaches the top of the pastry shell. Sprinkle cheddar and parmesan cheese over the top.
- Bake in the preheated oven at 180°C for 30 - 35 minutes. Serve immediately.
