Spinach and goat's cheese self-crusting quiche

Recipe printed from www.easycheesyvegetarian.com

Ingredients

1 tbsp oil
4 cloves garlic, minced
150 g (~ 5 oz) fresh spinach, roughly chopped
8 eggs
250 ml (~ 1 cup) single cream
115 g (~ 3/4 cup) self-raising flour
100 g cheddar cheese, grated (~ 1 cup when grated)
1 tsp dried mixed herbs
1 tsp salt
1 tsp black pepper
Butter or oil for greasing the cake pan
125 g (~ 4 1/2 oz) soft goat’s cheese, crumbled
~ 5 cherry tomatoes, halved
1 tbsp pine nuts

Instructions

Heat a dash of oil in a frying pan, and add the garlic and spinach. Cook for a few minutes, over a medium heat, until wilted. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the eggs, cream, self-raising flour, and grated cheese. Add the dried herbs and plenty of salt and pepper, and mix thoroughly until the eggs are well mixed in.
Thoroughly grease a springform cake tin (mine measured 8 inches), and pour in the egg mixture. Scatter the garlic spinach on top, along with the crumbled goat's cheese. Poke them down into the egg. Place the halved tomatoes on top, and scatter over the pine nuts.
Bake the self-crusting quiche at 190°C (Gas Mark 5 / 375°F) for around 45 minutes, or until golden brown on top, and fairly firm to the touch. Remove it from the oven, and allow it to cool a little before removing from the cake tin.
Serve hot or cold.
