Ingredients

For the shortcrust pastry

250 g flour
125 g butter
60-80 ml water
1 pinch of salt

For the quiche

1 broccoli
½ bunch of green asparagus
1 cup of frozen peas 150 g
3 spring onions
1 bunch wild garlic or other fresh herbs, chopped
5 eggs
250 ml cream
200 g feta 1 block
Salt
Black pepper

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 180 °C (350°F).
In a large bowl, combine the flour, butter, water, and salt to make the shortcrust pastry. Mix until it forms a dough. Place the dough in an cling film and let it rest in the fridge for 15 minutes.
Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface and transfer it to a 9-inch (23cm) tart tin. Blind bake the crust for 10 minutes in the oven.
Cut the broccoli in florets. Cut off the hard ends of the asparagus. Cut the stalks in thin pieces and leaves the heads intact. Cut the spring onions in thin slices.
Blanch the broccoli in boiling water for 3 minutes, then drain and set aside.
In a small bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, a good pinch of salt, and a few turns of black pepper. Add the chopped wild garlic.
Add the blanched broccoli, asparagus, frozen peas, and two-thirds of the sliced spring onions on the bottom of the crust.
Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese on top of the vegetables.
Pour the egg and cream mixture over the vegetables.
Bake the quiche in the oven for 30-35 minutes or until the filling is set and the crust is golden brown.
Remove the quiche from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Sprinkle the remaining sliced spring onions on top of the quiche and serve warm.
