Carefully transfer the rolled dough into the pan, pressing it bottom and up the sides. Trim any excess dough.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Pre-Bake<\/strong>: Line the crust with parchment paper and fill with pie weights or dried beans. Bake for 10 minutes, remove the weights and parchment, and bake for another 5 minutes. Let cool slightly.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Fill the Crust<\/strong>: Spread the onion, garlic, and spinach mixture evenly over the bottom of the crust. Sprinkle the feta cheese over it.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Pour Egg Mixture<\/strong>: Pour the egg mixture over the vegetables and cheese, smoothing the top with a spatula if necessary.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Bake<\/strong>: Place the quiche in the oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the filling is set and the top is golden brown.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Cool and Serve<\/strong>: Allow the quiche to cool for about 10 minutes before slicing.
