📝 Instructions

13 steps

1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

2. Lightly flour a clean surface and roll out the puff pastry sheet to fit a 9-inch pie dish. Press the pastry evenly into the pie dish, trimming any excess, and set aside.

3. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.

4. Add the chopped onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened and translucent.

5. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds until fragrant.

6. Add the sliced mushrooms and sauté for 5-6 minutes until golden and the moisture has evaporated.

7. Gradually add the baby spinach, stirring constantly, and cook until wilted. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

8. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, black pepper, and nutmeg (if using).

9. Spread the mushroom and spinach mixture evenly over the bottom of the prepared puff pastry.

10. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the vegetables.

11. Pour the egg mixture over the cheese and vegetables, allowing it to fill in all gaps.

12. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the filling is set and the puff pastry is golden brown.

13. Remove from the oven and let the pie cool for 10 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
