Savory Spinach and Mushroom Quiche

Ingredients

• Pie crust (1 (9-inch))
• Olive oil (2 tablespoons)
• Onion (1 medium, finely chopped)
• Garlic (2 cloves, minced)
• Mushrooms (1 cup, sliced)
• Spinach (2 cups, fresh)
• Eggs (4, large)
• Milk (1 cup)
• Salt (1/2 teaspoon)
• Black pepper (1/4 teaspoon)
• Cheddar cheese (1 cup, shredded)

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Gently roll out the pie crust and press it into a 9-inch pie dish. Set aside.
3. In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and minced garlic, and sauté until they become translucent and aromatic.
4. Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and cook until they release their moisture and become tender.
5. Stir in the spinach and continue to cook until it wilts. Remove the skillet from heat and let the mixture cool slightly.
6. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until well combined.
7. Spread the cooled spinach and mushroom mixture evenly over the pie crust.
8. Pour the whisked egg mixture over the vegetables, ensuring it permeates through the spinach and mushrooms.
9. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly on top.
10. Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the quiche is set and the crust turns a lovely golden brown.
11. Allow the quiche to cool for a few minutes before slicing. This helps it to set and makes slicing easier. Serve warm and enjoy.
