Ingredients
- Ingredients: 1 pre-made pie crust
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 cup mushrooms, sliced
- 2 cups fresh spinach
- 1 small onion, diced
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or gruyère)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
- Fresh herbs for garnish (like parsley or chives)
Instructions
Instructions:
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook until translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Add the sliced mushrooms and cook for an additional 5 minutes, or until they are soft and slightly browned. Stir in the fresh spinach and cook until wilted. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Stir in the sautéed vegetables and shredded cheese until well combined. Pour the filling into the pie crust, spreading it evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until the quiche is set and lightly browned on top. Allow to cool for a few minutes before slicing. Garnish with fresh herbs and serve warm or at room temperature.
