Mix 200 grams of flour in a bowl with 180 grams of soft butter.

Add a good pinch of salt and mix with fingers until combined.

Add 20 milliliters of cold water and combine thoroughly on a table.

Knead the dough for about 4 to 5 minutes until smooth, without overworking it.

Roll the dough into a disk shape and cover with cling film, removing air pockets.

Place in the fridge for 30 minutes.

Remove from the fridge and roll out to about 1 centimeter thick.

Gently place the pastry over a baking tin and press into the corners.

Trim the edges with a knife to remove excess pastry.

Prick the base of the tart with a fork to prevent bubbling.

Place a sheet of greaseproof paper over the pastry and weigh it down with rice.

Bake at 180 degrees Celsius for 10 minutes with the rice.

Remove the rice and baking paper, and bake for a further 20 minutes.

Combine 6 whole eggs, 2 extra egg yolks, a pinch of salt, black pepper, dried garlic, dried onion flakes, and 100 milliliters of cream in a bowl and blitz until smooth.

Chop sun-dried tomatoes and feta into small pieces and place them in the tart case.

Cover with half of the egg mixture and repeat with remaining filling.

Break up spinach leaves slightly and distribute them evenly throughout the quiche.

Give the quiche a few light taps to release air bubbles.

Bake at 180 degrees Celsius for about 35 minutes or until golden brown on top.

Leave the quiche in the tart case for 10 minutes before cooling completely.

Refrigerate overnight before serving.
