Spinach & Mushroom Quiche
Say goodbye to boring breakfasts and hello to the delightful delight that is a Spinach & Mushroom Quiche! This dish combines the earthy flavors of mushrooms and the vibrant greens of spinach, all wrapped up in a flaky, buttery crust. What’s not to love?
Ingredients
Grab your grocery list and get ready to snag these amazing ingredients:
- 1 pre-made pie crust (because let’s be real—ain’t nobody got time to make that from scratch!)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 cup mushrooms, sliced (your choice—button, cremini, or the fancy ones that sound like a dessert)
- 2 cups fresh spinach, chopped (baby spinach is a win-win!)
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup heavy cream (or half-and-half if you wanna feel light on your feet)
- 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, swiss, or whatever cheese makes your heart sing)
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
Time to get to the fun part—putting it all together!
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Get that baby nice and warm, like the hug we all need.
- In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Toss in the sliced mushrooms and sauté until they’re beautifully golden and soft. Make sure to season them with a pinch of salt and pepper!
- Add the chopped spinach to the mushrooms and stir until the spinach is wilted. It should look like a vibrant green fairy tale. Remove the skillet from the heat.
- In a bowl, whisk together the eggs and heavy cream until well blended. Season with a little more salt and pepper because we’re fancy like that!
- Place the pie crust in a pie dish (give it a gentle nudge and a wink) and scatter the sautéed mushrooms and spinach mixture evenly across the bottom.
- Pour the egg mixture over the veggies and sprinkle that shredded cheese on top like confetti—because cheese is a celebration in itself!
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 30-35 minutes, or until the quiche is set in the middle and has a golden-brown top. Your kitchen should smell like heaven!
- Once it’s done, let it cool for a few minutes, then slice it up and serve. Pair it with a side salad or a cheeky mimosa to take this experience to the next level!
Enjoy your Spinach & Mushroom Quiche, and feel free to bask in the glorious compliments from anyone lucky enough to devour it. Share it, if you must, but really, you deserve this moment of savory solitude!
