Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 medium yellow onion, diced
- 1.5 cups baby bella mushrooms, sliced
- 3 cups fresh spinach, chopped
- 5 eggs
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 0.5 cup whole milk
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 prepared pie crust
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a medium skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté for 2-3 minutes until softened.
Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and cook for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms release their moisture and begin to brown.
Add the chopped spinach to the skillet and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, until wilted. Remove the skillet from heat and set aside.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, and whole milk until smooth.
Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese, shredded mozzarella cheese, salt, black pepper, and ground nutmeg.
Prepare the prepared pie crust by rolling it out in a 9-inch pie dish. Trim and crimp the edges as desired.
Spread the spinach and mushroom mixture evenly across the bottom of the pie crust.
Pour the egg and cheese mixture over the vegetables, gently spreading to ensure it is evenly distributed.
Place the quiche in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is lightly golden.
Let the quiche cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
