Steps:
- Put the flour, sugar and salt in a food processor fitted with a metal blade and pulse to combine. Add about a third of the chilled butter cubes and process until the butter is absorbed. Add the remaining butter and pulse until the butter is the size of peas, 5 or 6 pulses. Add the vinegar. Then, while pulsing quickly a few times, add the ice water through the tube. Squeeze some dough between your fingers; it should just hold its shape without feeling wet. If it is crumbly, add more ice water a tablespoon at a time. Pulse quickly; do not overwork the dough or the crust will be tough. Wrap the dough loosely in a large piece of plastic wrap, then firmly press and flatten it into a thin round. Refrigerate for 1 hour.
- Lightly dust a work surface with flour, then roll the dough into an 11- to 12-inch round, about 1/8 inch thick. Center the dough in a 9-inch pie plate, with an even overhang all around. Fold the edges and flute or crimp. Chill for at least 30 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
- Press a piece of foil over the chilled crust, then fill with pie weights, raw beans or rice. Bake to set the crust, about 20 minutes. Remove the foil and weights and bake until the crust is light brown, 5 to 10 minutes more. Let cool slightly before adding the filling.
- For the filling: Sprinkle the shallot evenly into the crust. Put the Gouda, chicken and spinach in a medium bowl and toss to combine. Sprinkle it in an even layer over the shallots.
- Whisk together the half-and-half, eggs, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a medium bowl.
- Pour the custard over the filling. Lower the oven temperature to 350 degrees F and bake until set, 35 to 50 minutes. Let cool at least 30 minutes before serving warm or at room temperature.

SPINACH QUICHE WITH CHICKEN
Quiche works very well. Add seasonings of your family's choice for more variety. Use ham, bacon, or whatever protein. This quiche needs flavor boosters, so use your spice cabinet. Easily make this a Tex-Mex dish with diced green chiles and a touch of cumin. You could also add crumbled freshly cooked bacon to add more flavor. I served this with sliced avocado and tomatoes for a perfect light dinner.

Tips:
- To make the perfect quiche crust, use a combination of all-purpose flour and bread flour. This will give the crust a flaky and tender texture.
- Be sure to chill the dough before rolling it out. This will help to prevent the dough from shrinking in the oven.
- When pre-baking the quiche crust, use pie weights or dried beans to weigh it down. This will help to prevent the crust from bubbling up.
- For a creamy and flavorful quiche filling, use a combination of heavy cream, milk, and eggs.
- Season the quiche filling with salt, pepper, and nutmeg. You can also add other herbs and spices to taste.
- When adding the spinach to the quiche filling, be sure to squeeze out any excess moisture. This will help to prevent the quiche from becoming watery.
- Top the quiche with shredded cheese before baking. This will give the quiche a golden brown crust and a cheesy flavor.
- Bake the quiche until the center is set. This will take about 30-35 minutes.
- Let the quiche cool for at least 15 minutes before serving. This will help to set the filling and make it easier to slice.
