Sugar Snap Pea & Farmer's Cheese Quiche
with Spinach, Feta & Cucumber Salad
35 MIN
4 Servings
From the Test Kitchen
This veggie quiche is packed with fresh, seasonal flavor. Our filling of eggs, sugar snap peas, chives and garlic gets a delicious lift from farmer’s cheese. Also called “farmer cheese,” it’s a type of cheese made through an age-old method: milk is separated into curds and whey, then the curds are condensed to form firm blocks of cheese. Because it isn’t aged, farmer’s cheese is light and tangy, about as close as you can get to the pure flavor of fresh milk. To pair with this delicious quiche, we’re serving a salad of spinach, crunchy cucumber and feta tossed with a shallot vinaigrette.

1
Prepare the ingredients:
Preheat the oven to 425°F. Wash and dry the fresh produce. Snap off and discard the stem end of each sugar snap pea; pull off and discard the tough string that runs the length of the pod. Thinly slice the sugar snap peas on an angle. Peel and finely chop the garlic. Crumble the farmer’s cheese. Cut the chives into ¼-inch pieces. Medium dice the cucumber. Peel and finely chop the shallot to get 2 tablespoons (you may have extra); place in a bowl with the vinegar.
2
Cook the vegetables:
In a medium pan (nonstick, if you have one), heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil on medium until hot. Add the garlic and sugar snap peas; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, 2 to 3 minutes, or until the sugar snap peas are bright green and the garlic is fragrant. Remove from heat.
3
Make the filling:
While the vegetables cook, crack the eggs into a large bowl; season with salt and pepper and beat until smooth. Whisk in the farmer’s cheese, chives and 2 tablespoons of water. Add the cooked vegetables; season with salt and pepper and whisk until thoroughly combined.
4
Assemble & bake the quiche:
Place the pie crust on a sheet pan, leaving it in its tin. Carefully pour the filling into the pie crust. Bake 22 to 24 minutes, or until the crust is browned and the filling is set and cooked through. Remove from the oven and let stand for at least 5 minutes before serving.
6
Make the salad & serve your dish:
Just before serving, in a large bowl, combine the spinach, cucumber and feta cheese; season with salt and pepper. Add enough of the vinaigrette to coat the salad (you may have extra vinaigrette); toss to mix and season with salt and pepper to taste. Transfer to a serving dish. Serve the baked quiche with the salad on the side. Enjoy!
