Method
-
1. Blind Bake the pie shell: Preheat the oven to 375 F. Unroll your pre-made (or homemade) pie dough disk into a 9-inch pie or tart pan. Trim or flute the edges of the pie dough so they don’t overhang. With a fork, prick the bottom of the pie dough all over to ventilate. Place a piece of parchment paper over the pie dough and add 1 cup of dried beans or raw rice on top. Bake for 20 minutes, or until the dough is slightly golden. Remove from the oven and cool.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk eggs, heavy cream, feta cheese, red onion, spinach, red bell peppers, kosher salt and cracked black pepper together until smooth.
3. Assemble the quiche: Pour in the egg mixture and spread into one even layer.
4. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the center is set and no longer jiggles. Let the quiche cool for 10-15 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature, with fresh arugula for topping.
