Spinach mushroom quiche is a savory dish that has a stable, yet creamy filling featuring cooked vegetables and gruyere cheese on a partially baked pie crust.

Ingredients

  • 1 tart crust recipe
  • 1 Tablespoon butter
  • 1 ½ cups (113 g or 4 oz) freshly sliced crimini mushrooms
  • 1 cup (40 g) roughly chopped fresh spinach
  • 3/4 cup (90 g) chopped onion (about half an onion)
  • 3 large eggs (room temperature)
  • 1 egg yolk (room temperature)
  • 3/4 cup (180 ml) whole milk ((low-fat works too))
  • 1/2 cup (120 ml) heavy cream
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon pepper
  • Dash cayenne (optional)
  • 1 cup (85 g or 4 oz) shredded Gruyère cheese

Directions

  1. 1

    Press pastry dough into a 9-inch quiche dish with a rim height of 1 1/4-inches (I love this quiche dish). Press the dough all the way up the sides, folding any overhanging dough in on itself (you can see photos on how to do this here).

  2. 2

    In a skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Cook onion and mushrooms until tender, about 5 minutes. Add spinach and cook just until wilted. Remove from heat.
