Spinach Mushroom Quiche
Ingredients:
• 1 store-bought pie crust
• Pie weights or dried beans (for par-baking the crust)
• 5 large eggs
• 1/2 cup heavy cream
• Salt, to taste
• Ground black pepper, to taste
• 1 cup grated Swiss cheese
• A pinch of freshly ground nutmeg
• 1 cup sliced mushrooms
• 3 green onions, sliced
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 2 cups fresh spinach
Directions:
1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Crust:
• Preheat your oven to 400°F (204°C).
• Place the store-bought crust in a tart pan. Line the crust with parchment paper and fill with pie weights or dried beans.
• Par-bake the crust for about 10 minutes or until it starts to turn golden. Remove from oven and let cool. Reduce the oven temperature to 350°F (177°C).
2. Prepare Filling:
• In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, a pinch of salt, pepper to taste, grated Swiss cheese, and a pinch of freshly ground nutmeg. Set aside.
3. Cook Vegetables:
• In a skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add the sliced mushrooms and green onions. Cook until the mushrooms are brown and onions are soft.
• Add the fresh spinach and cook until just wilted.
4. Assemble Quiche:
• Place the cooked vegetables into the cooled, par-baked crust.
• Pour the egg and cream mixture over the vegetables in the crust.
5. Bake the Quiche:
• Place the quiche on a foil-lined baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven at 350°F (177°C) until the center is set and doesn’t jiggle, about 35-45 minutes. You can test for doneness by inserting a skewer or knife in the center; if it comes out clean, the quiche is ready.
6. Cool and Serve:
• Remove the quiche from the oven and let it cool for at least 15 minutes before serving. This quiche can also be enjoyed cold.
