INSTRUCTIONS
Wash spinach and remove stalks. Drop spinach into a pot of boiling salted
water and cook for 1 or 2 minutes then drain immediately into a colander.
Chop spinach finely and squeeze to remove excess moisture (do the same if
using frozen thawed spinach).
Melt butter in a frying pan then add chopped onion and cook gently for a
few minutes. Push onion to one side of the pan then increase the heat, add
chopped bacon, mushrooms and thyme. Cook for a few minutes, stirring often.
Add parsley, turn off heat and cool slightly. Put milk, cream and eggs into
a mixing bowl and whisk together, then add grated cheese, spinach and
mushroom mixture. Mix well then season with salt and pepper.
Thaw the pastry sheets for about 15 minutes (the pastry is easier to handle
if it is still quite cold). Cut the pastry into rounds with a 7.5cm (3
inch) round cutter (you will get 9 rounds per pastry sheet). Press rounds
into prepared patty tins then add filling and bake in a preheated hot oven
(200 deg C) for 15 minutes or until filling is lightly set. Remove from
oven and leave to settle for 5 minutes. Carefully remove quiches from trays
and place onto a wire cooler. When cool, refrigerate immediately. Reheat in
a moderate oven for about 8 minutes.
To freeze: cool then pack in sealed rigid container with baking paper
between layers. Store for up to 4 weeks. When reheating there is no need to
thaw, put the frozen quiches on baking trays (single layers) and bake in a
moderate oven (180 deg C) for 20 minutes.
