Spinach, onion and tomato quiche with sadza crust

Ingredients

For the Sadza Crust:

  • 1 3/4 cups water
  • ½ cup maizemeal

For the Quiche Filling:

  • 3 large tomatoes chopped
  • 1 large onion sliced
  • 2 cups baby spinach
  • 1 cup half and half or milk
  • 3 eggs
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1½ cups flavorful cheese such as Swiss or gouda, grated

Instructions

  1. To make the sadza crust: In a medium saucepan, bring the water to a boil. Add the maize meal in a gradual stream, whisking constantly to prevent lumps. Reduce the heat to low and continue to cook, whisking frequently, for about 15-20 minutes until the mixture pulls away from the sides of the pan into a firm, sticky mass.
  2. Grease a quiche pan and press the sadza mixture into it and up the sides.
  3. In a preheated oven at 400 degrees F, bake the sadza crust for 15-20 minutes until slightly crispy on the edges. Allow the crust to cool.

For the quiche filling:

  1. Combine the half and half, eggs, and salt in a medium bowl and whisk until smooth.
  2. Place the onion, chopped tomatoes, and spinach into the sadza crust. Pour the half and half/egg mixture over it and then sprinkle the cheese over it.
  3. Preheat the oven to 325 F and bake for 35-40 minutes or until golden brown on top and the middle of the quiche is firm.
