Ingredients

• 1 9-inch pre-made pie crust
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 4 cups baby spinach
• 8 ounces mushrooms
• 2 cloves garlic
• 4 large eggs
• 1 cup milk
• 0.5 cup heavy cream
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1 cup shredded Gruyere cheese
• 0.5 cup shredded Parmesan cheese

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the pre-made pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish. Crimp the edges if desired, and set aside.

Step 2

Heat the olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the mushrooms and cook for 5-7 minutes, until they release their moisture and start to brown.

Step 3

Add the garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant. Stir in the baby spinach and cook for 1-2 minutes, until wilted. Remove from heat and let the mixture cool slightly.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, heavy cream, salt, black pepper, and ground nutmeg until well combined.

Step 5

Spread the spinach and mushroom mixture evenly over the prepared pie crust. Sprinkle the shredded Gruyere and Parmesan cheeses over the veggies.

Step 6

Pour the egg mixture over the vegetables and cheese, ensuring it fills the crust evenly.

Step 7

Place the quiche on the middle rack of the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the filling is set and the top is lightly golden. Check for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center; it should come out clean.

Step 8

Remove the quiche from the oven and let it cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
