Spinach, Cheese and Bacon Quiche

Ingredients: 

SHORTCRUST PASTRY 

Eggs (OPG Pavlović) - 2 pcs (1 whole + 1 egg yolk)
Flour - 250g
Butter - 125g
Salt - 1 tsp

FILLING

Spinach (OPG Loboda Stjepan) - 800g
Fresh cheese (OPG Božić) - 500g
Bacon (OPG Rudež) - 200g
Sour cream (OPG Božić) - 1 pot
Eggs (OPG Pavlović) - 1 pc
Onion (OPG Mikić) - 1 pc
Garlic (OPG Ivana Debelić) - 2 cloves
Gouda cheese - 50g
Pinch of salt and pepper

Preparation method:

Knead the ingredients into a shortcrust pastry, shape into a ball, flatten slightly with your hands to make it easier to roll out later, wrap in cling film and place in the fridge for half an hour. 

Finely chop the garlic and onion and fry very briefly with the crisp bacon (just enough to release the aroma). Add the spinach, which you have previously washed and dried, and sauté until wilted. Season with a little salt and pepper. Set aside to cool.

Mix the cheese with sour cream, add salt and the egg. Stir everything well and add the spinach, bacon and onion.

Take the dough out of the fridge, roll it out and transfer to a greased baking tin. Press with your fingers and trim the excess around the edges. Prick in several places with a fork and bake at 200C for about 10 minutes.

After about 10 minutes, remove the dough from the oven and spread the cheese and spinach filling over it. Sprinkle with pieces of Gouda and return to the oven for 20-25 minutes, reducing the heat to 180C.
