Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 9-inch pre-made pie crust
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 4 cups baby spinach
- 8 ounces mushrooms
- 2 cloves garlic
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 0.5 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 cup shredded Gruyere cheese
- 0.5 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the pre-made pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish. Crimp the edges if desired, and set aside.
Heat the olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the mushrooms and cook for 5-7 minutes, until they release their moisture and start to brown.
Add the garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant. Stir in the baby spinach and cook for 1-2 minutes, until wilted. Remove from heat and let the mixture cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, heavy cream, salt, black pepper, and ground nutmeg until well combined.
Spread the spinach and mushroom mixture evenly over the prepared pie crust. Sprinkle the shredded Gruyere and Parmesan cheeses over the veggies.
Pour the egg mixture over the vegetables and cheese, ensuring it fills the crust evenly.
Place the quiche on the middle rack of the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the filling is set and the top is lightly golden. Check for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center; it should come out clean.
Remove the quiche from the oven and let it cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
