Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 250 grams Button mushrooms
- 2 whole Garlic cloves
- 100 grams Spinach leaves
- 6 whole Eggs
- 120 milliliters Heavy cream
- 100 grams Cream cheese
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 50 grams Grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the mushrooms and cook until they are golden brown, about 5-7 minutes. Stir occasionally.
Finely chop the garlic and add it to the skillet with the mushrooms, cooking for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Add the spinach leaves to the skillet and cook until wilted, about 2 minutes. Remove the skillet from the heat and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, and softened cream cheese until smooth and well combined.
Stir in the salt, pepper, and grated Parmesan cheese into the egg mixture.
Gently fold the cooked mushrooms, garlic, and spinach into the egg mixture. Ensure that everything is evenly distributed.
Pour the mixture into a greased 9-inch pie or quiche dish.
Place the quiche dish in the oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the quiche is set and the top is lightly golden.
Remove the quiche from the oven and allow it to cool for a few minutes before slicing.
Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
