Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 piece pre-made pie crust
- 1 piece boneless, skinless chicken breast
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cups baby spinach
- 1 cup button mushrooms, sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 4 pieces eggs
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 0.5 cup milk
- 1 cup shredded Swiss cheese
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon nutmeg
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the pre-made pie crust in a 9-inch pie dish and set aside.
Season the chicken breast with a pinch of salt and pepper. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook the chicken breast for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked. Remove from the skillet and let it rest for 5 minutes before dicing it into bite-sized pieces.
In the same skillet, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant. Add the sliced mushrooms and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened.
Add the spinach to the skillet and cook for an additional 2 minutes until wilted. Remove the mixture from the skillet and allow it to cool slightly.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, milk, salt, pepper, and nutmeg until fully combined.
To assemble the quiche, spread the diced chicken evenly over the bottom of the pie crust. Layer the spinach and mushroom mixture on top of the chicken. Sprinkle the shredded Swiss cheese evenly over the top.
Pour the egg custard mixture over the fillings, ensuring that it fills the crust without overflowing.
Bake the quiche in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is golden and the filling is set. A knife inserted in the center should come out clean.
Remove the quiche from the oven and let it cool slightly for 10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature.
