Green Pea And Feta Quiche Recipe

Ingredients

Makes 4 To 6 Servings

  • 1½ cups frozen green peas (about half a 1-pound bag)
  • 1 small bunch fresh mint
  • ¾ cup (packed) crumbled feta cheese
  • 1 unbaked 9-inch deep-dish pie crust
  • 6 large eggs
  • ¾ cup milk
  • 1 tablespoon unbleached all-purpose flour
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 scallions (white and tender green parts), finely minced

Method

  1. Adjust the oven rack to the center position and preheat the oven to 375°f
  2. Put the peas in a colander and run them under room-temperature water for about 30 seconds to defrost
  3. Turn the water off, give the colander a shake, and then leave it in the sink for a few minutes to drain
  4. Pull about 10 mint leaves from the bunch, and cut them into thin strips with a sharp knife
  5. Set aside the rest of the bunch for garnishing
  6. Scatter the crumbled feta into the pie crust
  7. Shake the peas in the colander a couple more times, then dump them into the crust on top of the cheese
  8. Tilt and gently shake the pie pan a few times to evenly distribute the peas
  9. In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, flour, salt, and a few grinds of black pepper
  10. Stir in the scallions and the mint strips
  11. Pour the egg mixture carefully over the feta and peas, filling the crust right up to the top
  12. Carefully transfer the pie to a foil-lined baking tray (which will catch any filling that might overflow during baking, saving you possible oven cleanup), and slide the tray into the oven
  13. Bake for about 1 hour, or until the crust is golden, the filling is puffed up, and the surface feels tender but solid when you (carefully) touch it with a fingertip
  14. If the edges of the crust become too dark before the hour is up, cover the quiche very loosely with foil to protect it
  15. Remove the tray from the oven and let the quiche rest for 10 minutes before serving
  16. During this time, cut the remaining mint leaves into thin strips to sprinkle over each serving
  17. Serve hot, warm, or at room temperature
