Description
A classic baked quiche with a flaky crust and a creamy egg custard filled with sautéed spinach, mushrooms, and melted cheese. Perfect for brunch, lunch, or a light dinner, this comforting dish is both elegant and easy to prepare.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 unbaked 9 inch pie crust
- 5 large eggs
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 cup fresh spinach, chopped
- 1 cup mushrooms, sliced
- 1 1/2 cups shredded cheese such as Swiss or cheddar
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, milk, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder until smooth.
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté the mushrooms for about 5 minutes, then add the spinach and cook until wilted. Remove from heat.
- Spread the sautéed vegetables evenly over the pie crust. Sprinkle the shredded cheese on top. Pour the egg mixture gently over everything.
- Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, until the center is just set and the top is lightly golden.
- Remove from the oven and let rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
Notes
- Sautéing the vegetables first prevents excess moisture in the custard.
- If the crust browns too quickly, loosely cover the edges with foil.
- Let the quiche rest before slicing for clean, neat pieces.
- Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
