Savory Spinach and Mushroom Quiche

Ingredients

• Salt (1/2 teaspoon, or to taste)
• Black pepper (1/4 teaspoon, or to taste)
• Cheddar cheese (1 cup, shredded)
• Milk (1 cup)
• Eggs (4, beaten)
• Garlic (2 cloves, minced)
• Onion (1 medium, finely chopped)
• Mushrooms (1 cup, sliced)
• Spinach (2 cups, roughly chopped)
• Pie crust (1 (9-inch))

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Roll out the pie crust on a lightly floured surface and gently press it into a 9-inch pie dish. Trim any excess and crimp the edges. Set aside.
3. In a large skillet over medium heat, sauté the mushrooms, onion, and minced garlic until they're softened and the onions are translucent, about 5 minutes.
4. Add the chopped spinach to the skillet and continue to cook until it's wilted, about 2-3 minutes. Remove the skillet from heat and let the mixture cool.
5. In a separate large bowl, whisk together the beaten eggs and milk. Season with salt and pepper.
6. Spread the cooled spinach and mushroom mixture evenly over the pie crust.
7. Carefully pour the egg mixture over the vegetables in the pie crust.
8. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly on top.
9. Bake the quiche in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the quiche is set in the center and the crust is golden brown.
10. Remove the quiche from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
