Steps:

- In a large bowl combine the flour & salt.
- Add the butter with fingers, rubbing until incorporated completely and water.
- Gather the dough by rolling it into a ball, being sure to collect any fallen dough from the corners.
- Roll the dough on a lightly floured surface into a round ball. Roll the dough over your rolling pin and lift it over the tart pan. Unroll it loosely over the tart pan and gently press the dough into the pan without stretching it.
- Fold a bit of the excess dough inward to form a lip.
- Prick the bottom of the shell all over with a fork, cover with aluminum foil, and refrigerate for approximately 30 minutes or overnight.
- Arrange a rack in the center of the oven and heat the oven to 425 degrees F.
- Remove the foil, line the frozen shell with parchment or fresh foil, fill it with pennies or pie weights, and bake until the sides are set, about 12-14 minutes.
- Let cool.
- FOR THE FILLING:.
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
- Cook the spinach and bacon ahead of time.
- Combine the eggs, milk, spinach, ricotta, seasoning, parmesan, mushrooms, and swiss in a food processor or bowl. stir until well-incorporated.

SPINACH-RICOTTA QUICHE
Steps:
- Partially pre-bake the pie crust according to direction, if using a crust. Heat olive oil in large skillet or Dutch oven. Add onions and saute until golden, about 4 minutes Add greens; saute until wilted, tender & dry (~ 15 min.) Allow onions/greens mixture to cool. Beat eggs and salt to blend in large bowl. Whisk in 3/4 cup Parmesan, then greens. Stir in ricotta, leaving some clumps. Pour in egg mixture into pie crust--or into a ceramic pie plate if not using a crust--spreading evenly. Sprinkle remaining 1/4 cup Parmesan over eggs. Bake until pie is set, about 20-30 minutes, covering crusts if browning too quickly. Let cool 10 minutes. Slice into wedges and serve.
Tips:
- Use fresh spinach. Fresh spinach has a more vibrant flavor than frozen spinach, and it will also release less water when cooked.
- Sauté the spinach before adding it to the quiche. Sautéing the spinach will help to remove excess moisture and concentrate the flavor.
- Use a good quality ricotta cheese. Ricotta cheese is the star of this quiche, so it's important to use a good quality cheese. Look for a ricotta cheese that is smooth and creamy, with a slightly sweet flavor.
- Don't overbeat the eggs. Overbeating the eggs will make the quiche tough. Simply whisk the eggs until they are well combined.
- Bake the quiche until it is set. The quiche is done baking when the center is set and the top is golden brown.
Conclusion:
Spinach ricotta quiche is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It is also a great way to use up leftover spinach. With its creamy filling and flaky crust, this quiche is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
