Crustless Spinach Mushroom Quiche

by

Quiche is a versatile and delicious dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. One of my all-time favorite variations is the crustless spinach mushroom quiche. It’s a healthy and flavorful option that is perfect for any time of day.

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 2 cups fresh spinach, chopped
  • 1 1/2 cups mushrooms, sliced
  • 6 eggs
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (I prefer a blend of mozzarella and cheddar)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

One of the things I love about this recipe is that it’s so easy to customize. You can add in your favorite veggies or switch up the cheese to suit your taste. It’s a great way to use up any ingredients you have in the fridge.

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9-inch pie dish with cooking spray.
  2. In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook until softened.
  3. Add the chopped spinach and mushrooms to the skillet and cook until the liquid from the mushrooms has evaporated.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and shredded cheese. Season with salt and pepper.
  5. Spread the spinach and mushroom mixture evenly in the prepared pie dish. Pour the egg mixture over the top.
  6. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the quiche is set in the middle and golden brown on top.
  7. Let it cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.

I find that this dish is great for brunch gatherings or as a make-ahead meal for busy weekdays. The combination of earthy mushrooms, vibrant spinach, and creamy cheese is truly satisfying.

Health Benefits
