Step-by-step method

Let’s cook

At a glance

You're building a hearty French spinach and chicken quiche from scratch, starting with making an oat and rye crust, then layering in a savory filling of ham, chicken, spinach, and eggs. The trickiest part is getting the dough to the right consistency and keeping the filling well-mixed before baking, but the whole process comes together in just under an hour.
