Easter is a holiday (or nightmare) for sheep across the globe. Although it is common to eat lamb - which by the way have always seemed a bit sad to me, little lambs being so cute and all. I have always hoped (this frail thing which is hope) that people, including me, were really eating grown up sheep rather than baby sheep, but ah well...
Goats, on the other hand, have had a way better time lately with their sudden surge in popularity. For example with the ever growing trend of "goating" popular songs and making memes such as these:
We like goats too, especially their CHEESE. Or rather cheese made from goats milk. Yum. This, see below, is a lovely savory pie, or quiche to use its french and fancy term. Also yum. Try it!
Spinach and Goat's Cheese Quiche
Crust
- 3 dl flour (preferably a mix of wheat and some darker flour)
- 1 tbs baking powder
- 0,5 dl (ca 50 g) melted butter
- 1 dl of milk
Fill with!
- ca 250 gram of frozen spinach
- 2 cloves of garlic
- dash of olive oil
- half a jar of Red Pesto
- 100 g Goat cheese
- 2 eggs
- 2 dl milk
- 1, 5 dl grated cheese
- Salt and pepper
Start by making the dough, spread out in a baking tin - push the edges quite far up so there is a lot of room for the filling. Put the oven on 200 degrees and pre-bake the dough for 10 minutes.
Fry the spinach lightly with garlic, olive oil, then adding the pesto.
Original recipe included sun dried tomato an fresh basil instead of pesto,
but this was a cheaper and quicker alternative. Or as we like to say:
but this was a cheaper and quicker alternative. Or as we like to say:
Put the spinach mix in the tin, then stir together the rest of the ingredients - apart from the goat cheese - and pour on top of the spinach and mix together lightly.
The final, and most important step: crumble the cheese and sprinkle generously on top.
In the oven for 30 minutes.
Serve with a simple green salad!
