- 10 whole Sheets Of Frozen Puff Pastry, Thawed
- 1 cup Breadcrumbs
- 500 grams Bacon, Diced
- 4 whole Red Onions, Diced
- 3 cloves Garlic, Pressed
- 500 grams Fresh Spinach

- 200 milliliters Creme Fraiche
- 250 grams Feta Cheese
- 20 grams Fresh Thyme
- 1 pinch Pepper
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 200 grams Grated Cheese
- Preheat the oven to 180 C.
- Line the inside of an 18 cm baking tin with the sheets of thawed puff pastry.
- Pour a cup of breadcrumbs on the bottom to soak up the moisture from the spinach.
- Fry the diced bacon in a skillet over medium heat for about 5 minutes or until they are brown and crispy.
- When theyre done, remove them from the pan and put them between sheets of paper towels to absorb the fat.
- Be sure to leave the bacon fatt in the skillet.
- Slowly brown the onion and garlic in the remaining bacon fat, cooking for about 10 minutes on low heat.
- Add the spinach a hand full at a time and cook until its wilted.
- Remove pan from heat.
- In a medium sized bowl mix the eggs and creme fraiche into a smooth mixture.
- Crumble the feta cheese into the mixture and add the paprika and the fresh thyme.
- Add pepper to taste, the feta and bacon are salty enough so you wont need to add extra salt.
- Divide the vegetables and bacon pieces evenly over the puff pastry.
- Pour the egg mixture over it and top with the grated cheese.
- Bake in the middle of the oven for about 45 minutes or until golden brown.
- To see if the quiche is cooked, pierce the centre with a fork.
- If it comes out dry, the quiche is done.
- If the centre is still wet, cover with tin foil and bake for another 10 minutes.
- The tin foil will keep the quiche from burning.
- Enjoy!
