Mushroom and Spinach Quiche
Quiches are a great baked dish good for any time of the day—breakfast, brunch, even dinner. Pair it with a yummy side and it’s quite a filling meal. I love serving quiche alongside a spring mix salad with a balsamic vinaigrette. The contrast in flavors works nicely.
My mushroom and spinach quiche recipe is so easy to make yet it’s so rich in flavor with minimum ingredients. Mushrooms and spinach are the star players, but there’s also goat cheese, shallots, and garlic. I’m a big fan of goat cheese in quiches. It adds a warm, cheesy creaminess to each bite, and paired with the mushrooms—just dreamy. I don’t always use a crust, instead, just pour everything into a glass pie dish sprayed with non-stick oil. When I do that, I adjust the recipe to use seven eggs and 1 1/4 cups of half-and-half. Enjoy!
Mushroom and Spinach Quiche
Servings: 4-6
INGREDIENTS
DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place the pie shell or dish on top of a baking sheet, or if you prefer to go crustless, use a glass pie dish and spray with non-stick oil.
Melt butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add shallots and cook for 2-3 minutes. Then add garlic, mushrooms, a sprinkle of salt and pepper, and 1 Tbsp of water. Continue to cook another 5-8 min, or until mushrooms are soft, mixing often.
Meanwhile, whisk eggs, half-and-half, salt, and pepper together. Set aside.
Once the mushrooms are soft, lower the heat and add the spinach (about 2 handfuls) and fold in gently. Remove from heat as soon as the spinach wilts.
Spoon the mushroom/spinach mixture (juices too) into the bottom of the pie shell or dish, making sure it's evenly distributed. Then pour the egg mixture over the top. Lastly, add in the goat cheese. Use your fingertips to gently push the spinach leaves and cheese down into the egg mixture. Carefully place the baking sheet onto the middle rack and cook for 40 min or until set. Let rest for 10-15 minutes before serving.
