Ingredients

Pastry Ingredients

  • 250 grams plain flour
  • 145 grams butter cold and cut into cubes
  • 2 tablespoon cold water

Filling

  • 250 grams milk
  • 5 eggs
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon pepper
  • 80 grams baby spinach leaves
  • 100 grams feta crumbled
  • 90 grams tasty cheese
  • 4 rashers short cut bacon diced
  • 100 grams cherry tomatoes cut in half
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 1 tablespoon onion flakes

Instructions

  • Place the plain flour, butter and water into your Thermomix bowl and mix for 6 seconds on speed 6.
  • Scrape down the sides of the bowl and using the kneading (interval) function, mix for 3 minutes.
  • Turn the mixture out onto a bench dusted with flour or a Thermomat and bring together into a smooth ball. If the mixture is a little too crumbly, add an extra tablespoon of water. Wrap the dough in cling wrap and place into the fridge for 30 minutes to chill - preheat your oven to 190 degrees fan forced.
  • In the meantime, place the tasty cheese into a clean Thermomix bowl and mix for 8 seconds, speed 8 to grate. Set aside until needed.
  • Lightly dust a rolling pin and your bench with flour and roll the pastry out until it's approximately 3 - 4mm thick - use your pie tin (I used a 22cm one) as a guide to how big your pasty needs to be, you want to allow a 3cm border of pastry around your dish for the sides.
  • Carefully place your pasty into your pie dish and gently press the pastry against the edges. Trim off any excess, but do leave approximately ½ cm of pastry hanging over the tin as it will shrink.
  • Place a sheet of baking paper on top of the pasty and top with baking weights or rice. Cook for 14 minutes before removing the baking paper and weights and cook for a further 6 minutes.
  • To make the quiche filling, add the garlic cloves to your bowl and mix for 5 seconds, speed 7 to crush. 
  • Scrape down the sides of your bowl and add the short cut bacon (which has been roughly torn into pieces) to your Thermomix bowl and mix for 5 seconds, speed 5 to dice.
  • Add the grated tasty cheese, milk, eggs, onion flakes and salt and pepper and mix for 10 seconds, speed 2 on REVERSE to combine.
  • Sprinkle the baby spinach leaves, tomatoes and feta over the baked pastry shell and pour the filling over the top before baking in your 190 degree preheated oven for 35- 40 minutes or until it's golden on top and cooked through when tested with a skewer.
