Ingredients
Pie Crust
- 1 pie crust
Filling
- 4 eggs
- 1 cup milk or cream
- 1 cup spinach
- 1/2 cup mushrooms, sliced
- 1/2 cup roasted squash, cubed
- 1/2 cup cheese (gruyère or cheddar)
- 1/2 onion, chopped
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) to ensure it’s at the right temperature for baking the quiche.
- Sauté Vegetables: In a skillet over medium heat, sauté the chopped onion and sliced mushrooms until they become soft and fragrant, about 5-7 minutes.
- Prepare Egg Mixture: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the 4 eggs and 1 cup of milk or cream until fully blended and smooth.
- Combine Ingredients: Add the sautéed vegetables, fresh spinach, roasted squash, and grated cheese to the egg mixture. Season with salt and pepper to taste and stir until everything is evenly combined.
- Fill Pie Crust: Pour the vegetable and egg mixture evenly into the prepared pie crust, spreading to the edges.
- Bake: Place the quiche in the preheated oven and bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the filling is set and the crust is golden brown.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the quiche from the oven and allow it to cool slightly for about 10 minutes before slicing and serving, to help it firm up and slice cleanly.
Notes
- Let the quiche cool slightly before slicing to ensure clean cuts.
- Feel free to substitute the vegetables based on seasonal availability or preferences.
