Directions
1. Prepare the Crust
If using a store-bought pie crust, place it in a greased pie dish. If making a homemade crust, roll out the dough and fit it into the dish, trimming any excess. Pre-bake the crust at 375°F (190°C) for about 10 minutes to prevent sogginess.
2. Saute the Vegetables
Heat a pan over medium heat and add a little butter or olive oil. Sauté chopped onions, sliced mushrooms, and minced garlic until softened. Add fresh spinach and cook until wilted. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
3. Prepare the Egg Mixture
In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, heavy cream, milk, salt, pepper, and a pinch of nutmeg. This mixture will give the quiche its creamy texture and rich flavor.
4. Assemble the Quiche
Spread the sautéed vegetables evenly over the pre-baked crust. Sprinkle shredded cheese (such as Gruyère, Swiss, or cheddar) over the top. Pour the egg mixture over the vegetables, ensuring an even distribution.
5. Bake the Quiche
Place the quiche in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the center is set and slightly golden. Let it cool for a few minutes before slicing.
6. Serve and Enjoy
Slice and serve warm or at room temperature. Pair it with a fresh salad or a cup of soup for a perfect meal. Enjoy your creamy spinach and mushroom quiche!
