Equipment
- 9-inch pie dish
- Skillet
- Mixing Bowl
- Fork
- Oven
Ingredients
- 1 pre-made pie crust ensure it is unbaked and fits a 9-inch pie dish
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 cup mushrooms sliced (white or cremini work well)
- 2 cups fresh spinach chopped
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese or your preferred cheese
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- to taste salt and pepper
Instructions
Prepare the Pie Crust
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the pre-made pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish, pressing gently into the bottom and sides. Trim excess dough. Prick the bottom with a fork. Optionally, blind bake crust for 8 minutes to keep it crisp.
Sauté the Vegetables
- Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add sliced mushrooms and cook for about 5 minutes until browned. Add chopped spinach and cook 2-3 minutes until wilted. Season lightly with salt and pepper. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
Make the Egg Mixture
- In a medium bowl, whisk 4 large eggs and 1 cup heavy cream until combined. Stir in garlic powder, onion powder, and a pinch of salt and pepper.
Assemble the Quiche
- Sprinkle half of the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the pie crust. Spread the sautéed mushroom and spinach mixture on top. Pour the egg and cream mixture over the vegetables evenly. Sprinkle remaining cheddar cheese on top.
Bake to Perfection
- Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes until the filling is set and the top is golden brown. Check doneness by inserting a knife or toothpick; it should come out clean. Let cool for 10 minutes before slicing.
Notes
- Blind baking the crust helps prevent a soggy bottom for a crispier texture.
- Use fresh herbs like parsley or thyme to customize flavor.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days; reheat in the oven to maintain crust crispness.
