Crustless caramelised onion & spinach Quiche

It's been ages since I've done a homemade quiche so a few weeks ago I tried one out using generally what I already had in, but also my favourite quiche ingredients when buying any from the shop.
They are relatively straight forward to make and generally a good people pleaser, so fingers crossed it would go down well with my little fussy eater!

I opted for caramelised onion and spinach quiche. I have to be honest I'm not overly keen on the flavour of cooked Spinach but I love it raw so I used dried frozen spinach and a few fresh leaves on top.
I did cheat a bit to save time and used pre-made pastry but I am including a recipe for short crust pastry if you'd like to make it yourself.

Recipe

Ingredients:

For the short crust pastry:

• 100g butter
• 200g flour
• 2tbsp water

For the Filling:

• 5 medium eggs
• 1 carton of single cream
• 115ml semi skimmed milk
• 200g grated mild or medium cheddar cheese 
• 1 small white onion
• Half a bag of frozen spinach
• Approx 10 cherry tomatoes
• Small amount of veg oil (for onions)
• 1 1/2 tsp sugar (for onions)
• 1/2 tsp salt (for onions)
• Seasoning (I used salt, pepper and ground garlic)

Method:

• Preheat oven to 200oc
• Make the short crust pastry
• Roll out and fit to dish. Blind bake for 10 minutes.
• Thinly slice the onions and fry them gently in small amount of veg oil. When they start to soften add sugar and salt. Heat until softened and gently browned.
• Whisk the eggs, cream and milk together.
• Dry off spinach between pieces of kitchen towel.
• Grate cheese and add to mixture. We also sprinkled some on the base.
• Slice cherry tomatoes and arrange on pastry base.
• Add spinach and onions into the quiche dish.
• Add the egg mixture to the dish.

We had our warm with salad, it was lovely and it was a hit with my fussy eater too!
