Instructions

To make the crust:

  1. Place the spelt flour and salt in the base of a food processor. Pulse 3-4 times.
  2. Add cold butter and pulse just until the butter and flour come together and the butter is the size of a small pea. Add the cold water and pulse again just until the dough begins to pull together into a mass.
  3. Transfer the dough to a lightly floured counter and very lightly knead it until it comes together. Wrap dough in plastic wrap and let refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

To prepare the quiche:

  1. Preheat the oven to 375F degrees.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add scallions, broccoli and asparagus. Cook 8-10 minutes until veggies are just tender. Season with a pinch of salt and ground pepper and set aside to cool.
  3. In a small bowl, mix together creme fraiche, chopped dill and a teensy pinch of salt; set aside.
  4. In a large bowl, add eggs, half & half, dried mustard, hot sauce and a small pinch of salt and pepper. Using a whisk, mix everything until well incorporated.
  5. Roll out the spelt pie crust on a well floured countertop and line a standard pie dish. Spread the creme fraiche over the bottom of the pie shell. Top with the cooled, sautéed veggies and fresh spinach. Pour the egg mixture over and then crumble with goat cheese.
  6. Place quiche on a baking sheet (to protect oven in event quiche cooks over) and place quiche in the preheated oven. Bake for 40 minutes until well down the top is just starting to brown.
  7. Remove from oven and let cool 30 minutes before cutting into.
  8. Enjoy!
