Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 large eggs
- 0.5 cups heavy cream
- 1 cups grated cheddar cheese
- 1 small zucchini
- 0.5 cups mushrooms
- 1 cups baby spinach
- 1 clove garlic
- 0.5 medium onion
- 1 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoons mixed dried herbs (e.g., thyme, oregano)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9-inch pie dish or baking dish with cooking spray or a thin coating of olive oil.
Thinly slice the zucchini and mushrooms. Finely chop the onion and garlic.
Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic, sauté until fragrant, about 2 minutes.
Add the zucchini, mushrooms, and a pinch of salt to the skillet. Cook until the vegetables are soft and any released liquid has evaporated, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the baby spinach and cook for 1-2 minutes, until wilted. Remove the skillet from heat and let the mixture cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, salt, black pepper, and mixed dried herbs until well combined.
Spread the sautéed vegetables evenly over the bottom of the pie dish. Sprinkle the grated cheddar cheese over the vegetables.
Pour the egg mixture evenly over the vegetables and cheese, ensuring everything is submerged.
Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the quiche is set in the center and golden brown on top.
Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature.
