Equipment

Ingredients  

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 4 ounces mushrooms, sliced
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 8 ounnces fresh baby spinach
  • 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
  • 6 eggs
  • ½ cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon pepper
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder

Instructions
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F. Lightly grease a 9 inch pie dish or similar baking dish and set aside.
  2. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced mushrooms and cook for 4 to 5 minutes until softened.
  3. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Add the spinach and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, stirring often, until fully wilted. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  4. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, pepper, and onion powder until well combined. Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese.
  5. Add the cooled spinach and mushroom mixture to the egg mixture and stir to combine.
  6. Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly.
  7. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is lightly golden. Let the quiche cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • Cook the vegetables first: Sautéing the mushrooms, garlic, and spinach removes excess moisture and prevents a watery quiche.
  • Let the filling cool slightly: Allowing the cooked vegetables to cool before mixing helps prevent the eggs from scrambling.
  • Whisk the eggs well: Fully whisked eggs create a smooth, evenly set quiche.
  • Do not over bake: Remove the quiche when the center is just set to keep the texture soft and tender.
  • Rest before slicing: Letting the quiche rest for a few minutes helps it firm up and slice cleanly.
  • Serving Suggestions: Serve warm with Strawberry Spinach Salad, or pair with Almond Flour Crêpes for a complete breakfast or brunch spread.
