Method

1. 01
   Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. 02
   In a bowl, combine flour and salt. Cut in cold butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in ice water, a tablespoon at a time, until dough forms.
3. 03
   Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface to fit a 9-inch pie pan. Transfer to the pie pan and trim the edges. Prick the bottom with a fork.
4. 04
   Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes until lightly golden. Remove and set aside.
5. 05
   In a skillet over medium heat, heat olive oil. Add chopped onion and minced garlic, sauté until onion is translucent. Add spinach and cook until wilted.
6. 06
   In a bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, salt, pepper, and oregano. Stir in the cooked spinach mixture and crumbled feta cheese.
7. 07
   Pour the filling into the pre-baked crust. Spread evenly with a spatula.
8. 08
   Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the filling is set and the top is golden brown.
9. 09
   Allow the quiche to cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
