Spinach in Creamy Feta Sauce image

Greek flavor with a Southern twist. I love Southern-style creamed spinach, but I also love the combination of spinach and feta found in Greek cookery. This recipe pulls it all together. You could really dress this up by topping with buttered breadcrumbs and baking until the top is crunchy.

SPINACH AND FETA QUICHE



Spinach and Feta Quiche image

Inspired by a desire to recreate a favourite quiche from a local coffee shop. I generally serve with a green salad. Serves 4.

Time 1h10m

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 0

Steps:

  • To make the pastry, tip the flour, herbs if using and butter into a bowl, then rub together with your fingertips until completely mixed and crumbly. Add 4 tbsp cold water, then bring everything together with your hands until just combined. Roll into a ball for use straight away or chill for up to 2 days.
  • Roll out the pastry on a lightly floured surface to a round about 4cm larger than a 22cm tart dish (the one I use is of glass and about 4 cm deep). Use your rolling pin to lift it up, then drape over the tart case so there is an overhang of pastry on the sides. Using a small ball of pastry scraps, push the pastry into the corners of the dish and run the rolling pin over the top to trim. Chill in the fridge or freezer for 20 mins. Heat oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6.
  • Lightly prick the base of the tart with a fork, line the tart case with a large circle of greaseproof paper or foil, then fill with baking beans. Blind-bake the tart for 20 mins, remove the paper and beans, then continue to cook for 5-10 mins until biscuit brown.
  • While the tart case cooks, in a frying pan saute the chopped pepper in butter until softened (about 2 minutes). Then add the spinach and sauté just till wilted. Finally add the chopped sun dried tomatoes and turn off the heat.
  • Beat the eggs in a large bowl. Gradually add the creme fraiche, then stir in the dried oregano and season. You may not need salt as the feta will provide quite a bit. When the case is ready, sprinkle the crumbled feta over the base, then the sautéed spinach. peppers and tomato and finally pour over the egg mix. Bake for 20-25 mins until set and golden brown. Leave to cool in the case, then remove from the tin.

Tips:

  • To ensure your kugel is cooked evenly, use a baking dish that is no larger than 9x13 inches.
  • If you don't have a food processor, you can chop the spinach and feta by hand.
  • For a creamier kugel, use full-fat sour cream and cream cheese.
  • If you don't have matzo meal, you can use bread crumbs or crushed crackers.
  • To make your kugel ahead of time, assemble it and bake it according to the recipe instructions. Then, let it cool completely and store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. When you're ready to serve, reheat the kugel in a 350°F oven until it is warmed through.

Conclusion:

Feta spinach kugel is a delicious and versatile dish that can be served as a main course or a side dish. It is also a great way to use up leftover spinach and feta. With so many different variations, there is sure to be a feta spinach kugel recipe that everyone will enjoy.
