Spinach Tomato Quiche/ August BarkBox Review

I'm Sorry.

I'm Sorry.

I'm Sorry!!!!!!!

This past week has been so crazy/busy. And I have been meaning to post this since last week but never had the time so here it is finally and I hope it was worth the wait.

So, remember how in my last post I was commenting on how the tomato tart would be so delicious as a quiche?

Well wait no longer, I have done that here!

But first I have to share the cutest thing ever with you!

My puppy:)


Meet Shay! She is a Border Collie Mix and just the most adorable bundle of energy!
This month, her and I got to experience our very first month of BarkBox. For those of you who have dogs this is such an awesome and creative idea. If you click the link above you will see how easy it is to get started and will get 10% off your first order! You select the size of your dog, the subscription length of your choice and pay! The hard part is waiting each month.

(As you can tell, Shay couldn't wait to get her box open as soon as it showed up 2 weeks ago)


In this month's box we got:
Safe Made Nautical Bandana ($8)

 

I how the box was packed with cute tissue paper and a card with info about all the products. It also includes reorder codes that you can just text to reorder products that you want more of in the box! How easy is that?! 


Once the box was open Shay could wait to start playing with her Squeaking Lobster Water Toy.
Today Shay just finished her Chicken Jerky Strips. She loved those! I was worried about the lobster biscuits, but she loved those too! As for the bandana she grew out of it within a day and we gave it to her Uncle Cooper (My Boyfriend's Families new Schnoodle puppy). 


All in all we are so satisfied with her first box and can't wait to see what the others have to offer. For what you get in each box it is a bargain and a HUGE Bargain if you choose to do the longer subscriptions. So I dare you! Go start a fun adventure with your furry friend!

Now for this delicious Quiche!
It's a mix of tomatoes, spinach, feta and parmesan. An OH SO DELICIOUS!


You Will Need:

For the Pate Brisee:
1 1/2 cup All Purpose Flour
1/2 cup Butter, cut into cubes
1 tsp. Salt
1 Egg
1 TB Milk
1/2 tsp. Sugar

For the Filling:
2 Eggs
1 cup Milk
1 TB Onion Powder
Salt and Pepper to taste
1 cup Spinach, Chopped (Talley Farms Box)
1/4 cup Feta
1/4 cup Parmesan 
15 Cherry Tomatoes, Quartered
(I used 2 Yellow (1.5oz ea) Tomatoes and 7 Heirloom Cherry Tomatoes)
2 Slices of cooked Bacon, Chopped
 

This Spinach has eagerly been waiting to be used from my Talley Farms Fresh Harvest Box, and  it will hopefully all be used up by the end of this week! If you have any awesome ideas for how to use up my spinach please comment below:)


Let's Start with the crust. 
Combine Flour, sugar and salt in the bowl of a stand up mixer or food processor.
Slowly add SUPER COLD cubed butter and mix until it resembles a coarse mixture (like sand). In a separate small bowl whisk together milk and egg. Slowly drizzle this into the flour mixture. Mix until the dough barely comes together. Knead by hand until completely blended. Roll the dough into a ball and flatten into a disk and refrigerate for 45 mins or stick it in the freezer for 15 mins. 
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
Roll the dough out until it is 3 inches wider than your tart pan. Fill pan with crust and trim off excess. Dock the bottom of the crust with a fork (poke holes), to keep from bubbling while baking. 
Bake for 15 mins and let cool completely.


Change oven temperature to 350 degrees.
Sprinkle Feta and Parmesan on top of crust and then top with chopped spinach.


Whisk Eggs, Milk, Onion Powder, Salt and Pepper together and pour on top of spinach.


Top with tomatoes.


And then an extra sprinkle of Parmesan and bacon on top.


Because bacon makes everything better! Everyone knows that! 


Bake for 45 mins or until golden brown on top and set in the middle.


Cut and serve :)
Or eat it all by yourself. (If you prefer)
