🥘Ingredients

For the Crust

1 1/4 cups all purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup cold unsalted butter cubed
3 to 4 tablespoons ice water

For the Filling

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 small onion diced
8 ounces cremini mushrooms sliced
3 cups fresh spinach
4 large eggs
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup milk
1 cup shredded Swiss cheese
1/2 teaspoon salt

👨‍🍳Directions

1Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
2Make the crust. Combine flour and salt in a bowl. Cut in cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add ice water one tablespoon at a time stirring with a fork until dough comes together. Form into a disc wrap in plastic and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
3Roll out the dough on a floured surface to a 12 inch circle. Transfer to a 9 inch pie dish. Trim and crimp the edges. Prick the bottom with a fork. Line with parchment paper and fill with pie weights or dried beans. Bake for 15 minutes. Remove weights and parchment and bake for another 5 minutes. Set aside.
4While crust bakes heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add onion and cook until soft about 5 minutes. Add mushrooms and cook until they release their liquid and start to brown about 8 minutes. Add spinach and cook until wilted about 2 minutes. Remove from heat.
5In a large bowl whisk together eggs heavy cream milk salt pepper and nutmeg. Stir in the Swiss cheese and the cooked mushroom spinach mixture.
6Pour the filling into the pre baked crust. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes until the center is set and the top is golden brown. Let cool for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.

3. Can I use a different type of cheese?

Absolutely. Swiss cheese is classic but you can substitute Gruyere cheddar or even feta for a different flavor. Just use about the same amount.

4. How do I know when the quiche is done?

The quiche is done when the center is just set and no longer jiggly. A knife inserted near the center should come out clean. The top will be golden brown.

5. Can I add other vegetables to this quiche?

Yes you can add sauteed bell peppers zucchini or caramelized onions. Just make sure to cook them first to remove excess moisture.
