Cook Time: 30 mins
Total Time: 45 mins
Cuisine: French
Serves: 6 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup fresh spinach, chopped
- 1 cup mushrooms, sliced
- 1 cup feta cheese, crumbled
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup milk
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9-inch pie dish or quiche pan with olive oil or cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Heat olive oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add sliced mushrooms and sauté for 4-5 minutes until they release their moisture and become lightly golden brown.
- Add chopped spinach to the skillet and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the spinach wilts and any excess moisture evaporates. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until well combined and slightly frothy.
- Spread the sautéed mushrooms and spinach evenly across the bottom of the prepared pie dish.
- Sprinkle crumbled feta cheese over the vegetable layer, ensuring even distribution.
- Carefully pour the egg and milk mixture over the vegetables and cheese, making sure it covers the entire surface.
- Place the quiche in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and let the quiche cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing. This helps the quiche set and makes it easier to serve.
- Cut into wedges and serve warm. Can be enjoyed immediately or stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Tips
- Fresh Ingredients Matter: Use fresh spinach and mushrooms for the best flavor and texture. If you can, buy them from a local farmer's market for peak freshness.
- Customize Your Veggies: Feel free to add other vegetables like bell peppers or zucchini for extra color and nutrition. Just be sure to sauté them until they’re tender before adding them to the quiche.
- Perfectly Greased Pan: Make sure to grease your pie dish thoroughly to prevent sticking. You can also use parchment paper for easier removal.
- Check for Doneness: The quiche is done when the center is set and the top is golden brown. If you’re unsure, a toothpick inserted in the center should come out clean.
- Let It Rest: Allow the quiche to cool for a few minutes before slicing. This will help it set properly and make serving easier.
- Storage Tips: If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator. The quiche can be enjoyed cold or reheated in the oven or microwave.
- Serving Suggestions: Pair your quiche with a light salad or some crusty bread for a complete meal. It’s also a great dish for meal prep—make it ahead of time and enjoy it throughout the week!
