Ingredients
- 1 pre-made pie crust
- 2 cups fresh spinach, chopped
- 1 cup mushrooms, sliced (bell mushrooms or any preferred variety)
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup heavy cream or milk
- 1 cup shredded cheese (Gruyère or Cheddar)
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and sauté until they are translucent.
- Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and cook until they are tender and have released their moisture, about 5-7 minutes.
- Stir in the chopped spinach and cook until wilted, approximately 2-3 minutes. If using, sprinkle in garlic powder for added flavor. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk the eggs and cream (or milk) together until well blended. Season with salt and pepper.
- Spread the sautéed vegetable mixture evenly over the bottom of the pie crust. Pour the egg and cream mixture over the vegetables, making sure it is evenly distributed.
- Sprinkle the shredded cheese over the top of the quiche.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the quiche is golden brown and set in the center.
- Once baked, remove from the oven and allow to cool for about 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
