Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.25 cups whole-wheat flour
- 0.25 cups unsalted butter
- 3 tablespoons cold water
- 6 large eggs
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or milk of choice)
- 2 cups baby spinach
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 cup mushrooms, sliced
- 0.5 cup red onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 0.25 cups goat cheese, crumbled
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoons dried thyme
- 0.5 teaspoons dried oregano
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a bowl, mix the whole-wheat flour and a pinch of salt. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry cutter or fork until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Add the cold water one tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough comes together. Press into a disk, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 10 minutes.
On a floured surface, roll out the dough to fit a 9-inch pie dish. Press it into the dish and trim any excess dough. Prick the bottom with a fork and bake for 10 minutes, then set aside.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the red onion and garlic, cooking until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Add the mushrooms and cook for 4-5 minutes, then stir in the spinach until wilted. Remove from heat.
In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, black pepper, thyme, and oregano.
Spread the cooked vegetables evenly in the pre-baked crust. Scatter the halved cherry tomatoes and crumbled goat cheese on top.
Pour the egg mixture over the vegetables, ensuring everything is evenly covered.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the filling is set and slightly golden on top.
Let the quiche cool for 10 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy your Healthy Gourmet Quiche!
