Ingredients

• 1 piece store-bought or homemade pie crust
• 1 cup ricotta cheese
• 4 cups fresh spinach
• 1.5 cups mushrooms, sliced
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• 0.25 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 4 pieces eggs
• 0.75 cup heavy cream
• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
• 1 teaspoon olive oil
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon nutmeg

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Roll out the pie crust and fit it into a 9-inch pie dish. Trim and crimp the edges as desired. Set aside.

Step 2

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 3

Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and cook for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they release their moisture and begin to brown.

Step 4

Add the fresh spinach to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes until wilted. Remove the skillet from the heat and allow the mixture to cool slightly.

Step 5

In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, ricotta cheese, salt, black pepper, and nutmeg until smooth.

Step 6

Stir in the shredded mozzarella cheese and grated Parmesan cheese to the egg mixture.

Step 7

Spread the sautéed spinach and mushrooms evenly over the prepared pie crust.

Step 8

Pour the egg mixture over the vegetables in the pie crust, spreading it out evenly.

Step 9

Place the quiche on the middle rack of the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is golden brown.

Step 10

Remove the quiche from the oven and let it cool for 10-15 minutes before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature.
