Instructions:
Prepare the Pie Crust:
In a large mixing bowl, combine flour and salt. Cut in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually add ice water, stirring until the mixture forms a ball. Wrap in plastic and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
Roll out the dough on a floured surface to fit a 9-inch pie dish. Place the crust in the dish, pressing evenly into the bottom and sides.
Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Prepare the Filling:
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté onion and garlic until soft and translucent. Add spinach and cook until wilted. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, heavy cream, nutmeg, salt, and pepper.
Stir in the spinach mixture and feta cheese.
Assemble and Bake:
Pour the filling into the prepared pie crust. Smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-45 minutes, or until the quiche is set and the crust is golden brown.
Garnish with red pepper flakes if desired.
Serve:
Let the quiche cool for several minutes before cutting into slices.
Serve warm or at room temperature.
