Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 250 grams Mushrooms
- 150 grams Fresh spinach
- 1 unit Garlic clove
- 4 units Eggs
- 1 cup Milk
- 0.5 cup Heavy cream
- 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 1 cup Grated cheese (cheddar or gruyere works well)
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Nutmeg (optional)
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley or chives (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9-inch pie dish.
In a skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the mushrooms and cook until they release their moisture and it evaporates, about 5-7 minutes.
Finely chop the garlic and add it to the skillet, stirring until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Add the spinach to the skillet and cook until wilted, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and let the mixture cool slightly.
In a large bowl, whisk the eggs until fully combined. Add the milk and cream, and whisk again.
Sift in the all-purpose flour and baking powder, and stir until smooth. Season with salt, pepper, and nutmeg (if using).
Stir in the grated cheese, followed by the cooled mushroom and spinach mixture. Mix gently to evenly distribute.
Pour the batter into the prepared pie dish, spreading it out evenly.
Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the quiche is golden brown on top and set in the center. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean.
Remove from the oven and let cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley or chives if desired, and serve warm or at room temperature.
