This beautiful vegetarian Greek quiche inspired by the flavours of Greece is perfect for feeding a family of four for at least two days. Filled with feta, spinach, tomatoes and olives it's both tasty and filling and great for a packed lunch too.
I was inspired to make this Greek quiche by my Secret Recipe Club assignment this month, Nic at I am a Honey Bee. Nic loves baking, animals, all types of challenges and travelling, which is how this quiche came about. In the midst of a cold winter a couple of years ago she got a new pie plate and inspired bya Greek holidayshe ended up creating this lovely dish full of Greek flavours.
I also wanted to use my own pie dish a lovely blue Le Creuset one. It may not be new. I've had it for a couple of years after winning it in a competition but I've never used it. However, there was something in Nic's post about getting a new pie dish that reminded me of my own one sitting alone in the cupboard and suddenly I really wanted to use it.
How can you make this quiche more quickly?
To make this recipeeasier and quicker you could use a bought pastry case to make the quiche in. I made my own pastry using a mix of white and wholemeal flour as I like the crumbliness and rusticitythatwholemeal flour givesand adding some wholegrain goodness to a recipe is never a bad idea.
A recipe inspired by my childhood
I also wanted to make a quiche as after making this mince and tomato crumble recently I've been thinking a lot about the type of recipes I grew up eating. I'm starting to want to make more and more of them and my mum probably made a quiche at least once a week and sometimes with sliced tomatoes on top too!
So for me this recipe neatly combines memories of childhood and holidays and although you might notfind a real quiche quite like this in Greece, you would struggle to go to Greece and not eat tomatoes, olives and feta!
I have to say, there were lots of other recipes on Nic's site that I wanted to make too. If I hadn't just made this Greek quiche when she published these amazing Chorizo Stuffed Jalapeno Poppers then today's post could have been quite different! I also loved the sound of this simple edamame salad.

This recipe looks really yummy, Corina! And healthy too! Even the pastry is healthier than quiche pastry normally is. I also love using wholemeal flour whenever possible:)

I love the combination of greek flavours you've used, I'd definitely be adding the olives too. I'm the same as you for getting new bakewear and then forgetting to use it for ages, I got all carried away in the Lakeland sale on Christmas Day last year and I've not yet used the things I bought!

I can do exactly the same with Lakeland! I love looking through the catalogue and always see a million things I want!

Mmmm yum! Absolutely gorgeous bake Corina, I love the flavours you've used and I too enjoy using a little wholemeal flour in some of my pastries, it really does bring extra flavour to it doesn't it 🙂

Thank you Angela! My mum always used to make her own pastry and always put some wholemeal flour in so I really like it too. I love the flavour and the crumbliness although it can make it harder to work with x

This tart looks fabulous. Id skip the olives but wouldn't change anything else as it looks just fabulous as it is.

I put the olives in mainly for my husband's benefit. He doesn't really like things with pastry so I was trying to bring him round to it! I like them but I'm equally happy without them!

Raising hens means that I make a lot of quiche but I have never made a Greek quiche. Great SRC choice.

Thank you! To be honest, I'd never thought of making a Greek quiche before either!

This sounds delicious, I love Greek food. Does it really have 11 eggs in it?? I've never seen a quiche with so many!
Reply
Corina
Yes, it really does have 11 eggs! The original recipe actually had 12 in but I ran out of eggs as I was making it. I didn't think it would miss the extra one!

I haven't tried it as just an omelet but it could certainly be adapted. I like that idea!

I used to love quiche before I was vegan - yours looks so perfect, it could almost tempt me away from the straight and narrow!

your quiche is so beautiful. And i think it's so fun you added olives too.

Corina
Thank you and thank you for the recipe! My husband is not normally a big fan of quiches but he does like olives so they were mainly for him, and also of course because olives are normally in a Greek salad so why not in this quiche too?!
