Starters/ Savory tarts/ Meat & Fish

Chicken Curry and Spinach Quiche

The other night, I wanted some comfort food on the table, but something healthy and with curry. Do not argue with a woman when she wants curry, or anything else by the way… I had a nice chicken filet, fresh spinachs in the fridge… And bam! I had my meal! A chicken curry and spinach quiche!

So I started making my savory shortcrust pastry, the quantities I mention in the recipe are perfect for a 28 cm diameter tart mold. I placed it in the fridge for one hour, already spread between two sheets of baking paper… And then I started making the very few quick steps of this quiche recipe. With only fresh and good ingredients.

The great thing with quiche is that you can prepare everything in advance and finalize the recipe at the last minute. It is the perfect meal for a middle of the week dinner when you have to cope with all the home business, the kids sport or artistic activities and, maybe, the understandable evening laziness!!

So no more waiting, the recipe, Chef!

Whisk the eggs and egg white, then add the milk, the cream, salt and pepper, and finally more curry if you wish. Mix the whole mixture.
