To make a delicious mushroom and spinach quiche, you will need: - 1 pre-made pie crust - 2 cups fresh spinach, chopped - 1 cup mushrooms, sliced (any variety, such as cremini or button) - 1 small onion, diced - 3 large eggs - 1 cup heavy cream - 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese - 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese - 1 teaspoon garlic powder - Salt and pepper to taste - 1 tablespoon olive oil - Fresh thyme or parsley for garnish (optional) Using fresh ingredients gives the best flavor for your quiche. Fresh spinach wilts well and adds a bright taste. Fresh mushrooms have a firm texture that makes each bite tasty. You can use frozen spinach or mushrooms in a pinch. If you do, thaw and drain them well to avoid excess moisture. This keeps your quiche from getting soggy. You can swap some ingredients if needed. Instead of heavy cream, you can use milk or a non-dairy option for a lighter quiche. If mozzarella is not available, try using cheddar or feta for a twist. You can change the mushrooms too. Try using bell peppers or zucchini for a different flavor. These changes allow you to make the quiche fit your taste or what you have on hand. For the pie crust, a homemade version is great if you want to try it! Just remember, each option may change the taste a bit. For the full recipe, refer to the instructions above. Start by gathering all your ingredients. You need a pre-made pie crust, fresh spinach, mushrooms, onion, eggs, and cream. First, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Next, heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add diced onion and cook for about 3-4 minutes until it turns soft. This step builds great flavor. Then, toss in sliced mushrooms and cook for 5-7 minutes. Wait until they are tender and release their moisture. Add chopped spinach and stir until it wilts, which takes just 2-3 minutes. Season with garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Remove from heat and let it cool. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 3 large eggs and 1 cup of heavy cream. This mixture creates the base of your quiche. Add in 1 cup of shredded mozzarella and 1/2 cup of grated Parmesan cheese. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper to taste. Mix well until combined. Now, fold in the cooled mushroom and spinach mixture. Ensure everything is evenly mixed. This step keeps flavors balanced in your quiche. Pour the filling into your pre-made pie crust, spreading it out evenly. Place the quiche in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes. You want the quiche to be set with a golden brown top. To check for doneness, insert a toothpick in the center. If it comes out clean, your quiche is ready. Once done, take it out and let it cool for 10 minutes before slicing. This helps the quiche set better. You can garnish with fresh thyme or parsley if you wish. Enjoy this delightful dish warm or at room temperature! For the full recipe, check out the details above. To get a great texture, make sure to cook the filling well. Cook the mushrooms and onions until soft. This step removes excess moisture. Wilting the spinach also helps. When you mix it with eggs and cream, it should feel thick but pourable. This blend creates a nice, creamy texture in your quiche. One common mistake is overcooking the quiche. Keep an eye on it as it bakes. If you bake it too long, the filling may dry out. Another mistake is not letting it cool before slicing. Cooling for about 10 minutes helps it set. This makes cutting easier and keeps it from falling apart. For this recipe, you need a few simple tools. A good mixing bowl is key for whisking eggs and cream. A skillet helps cook the filling evenly. A pie dish is needed for baking. Lastly, a sharp knife will help slice the quiche nicely.

You can even skip cheese for a lighter dish. You can make this quiche gluten-free easily. Use a gluten-free pie crust or make a crustless quiche. To make it vegan, swap eggs with a mixture of silken tofu and nutritional yeast. Replace heavy cream with almond or coconut milk. These changes keep the quiche tasty and satisfying.

Ingredients
  

1 pre-made pie crust

2 cups fresh spinach, chopped

1 cup mushrooms, sliced (any variety, such as cremini or button)

1 small onion, diced

3 large eggs

1 cup heavy cream

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1 teaspoon garlic powder

Salt and pepper to taste

1 tablespoon olive oil

Fresh thyme or parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

    In a skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil. Once hot, add the diced onion and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

      Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and continue to cook for another 5-7 minutes until they are tender and have released their moisture.

        Stir in the chopped spinach and cook until wilted, about 2-3 minutes. Season with garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Once cooked, remove from heat and let it cool slightly.

          In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and heavy cream until well combined. Add the shredded mozzarella and grated Parmesan cheese. Season the mixture with a pinch of salt and pepper.

            Add the mushroom and spinach mixture to the egg and cream mixture. Stir until everything is evenly distributed.

              Pour the filling into the pre-made pie crust, spreading it out evenly.

                Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the quiche is set and the top is golden brown. A toothpick inserted in the center should come out clean.

                  Remove from the oven and allow it to cool for 10 minutes before slicing. This will help the quiche set further.

                    Garnish with fresh thyme or parsley if desired, and serve warm or at room temperature.
