This is the first quiche I have ever made and it turned out really well. At least my guests thought so, who all went back for seconds. Mind you, they didn’t leave any for me!

DIRECTIONS

Preheat oven to 230°C.
Chop shallots and ham, and sauté in olive oil with garlic. Remove from heat and allow to cool.
In a bowl mix the flour with a little milk until a smooth paste forms. Add rest of milk, eggs, paprika, salt and pepper.
To the milk mixture, add the sautéed shallots and ham, cheese and spinach. Mix well.
Prick the base of the pastry with a fork and gently pour in the filling mixture. Spread out evenly.
Bake for 30 minutes. If necessary, cover with foil for the last 10 minutes to prevent over-browning.
Remove from oven and leave for 5 minutes before serving.
