This simple and vegetable-packed quiche is quick to make thanks to using ready-to-use filo (phyllo) pastry. It combines sautéed mushrooms, leek, sun-dried tomatoes, and spinach with a protein-rich filling of eggs, cottage cheese, a touch of harissa for mild heat, and grated cheese, all baked until golden and set. This can be served on its own or with a small side salad.

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Cut the sun-dried tomatoes into thin strips. Clean the mushrooms and slice them thinly. Halve the leeks lengthwise, wash them thoroughly, and cut them into thin strips. Squeeze the excess water from the thawed spinach over the sink with your hands, then tear the leaves apart.

Pour oil into a small bowl, dip a brush in it, and grease a casserole dish or frying pan with a little oil. Line the pan with the filo sheets, brushing each layer with a little oil.

Crack the eggs into a large mixing bowl and whisk them together with the cottage cheese and harissa. Gently fold in the tomatoes, chopped vegetables, spinach, and about two-thirds of the cheese. Season with salt and pepper.

Pour the egg mixture into the filo-lined dish, distribute the remaining cheese over it. Roll up the overlapping edges of the filo and fold them inwards, brush with the remaining oil.

Bake the quiche for one hour at 180°C (350°F) using conventional oven settings (top and bottom heat). The quiche is done when the egg mixture is completely set and has a crispy, golden-brown surface.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Filo Pastry Pro Technique 🥧
Brush each layer of filo pastry with canola oil and layer them carefully to create a crispy, flaky base that prevents a soggy bottom in your quiche.
Moisture Management 💧
Thoroughly drain and squeeze out excess water from frozen spinach to prevent your quiche from becoming watery and ensure a perfect texture.
Flavor Boosting Harissa Hack 🌶️
Add harissa gradually and taste as you go to control the heat level, ensuring a mild kick without overwhelming the delicate vegetable flavors.
Cheese Melting Magic 🧀
Mix grated cheese with cottage cheese for a creamier, more complex filling that provides both texture and rich flavor to your quiche.
Vegetable Prep Perfection 🥬
Sauté mushrooms and leeks separately to develop their individual flavors before combining, which will create a more depth in your quiche's overall taste profile.
