Ingredients
  

1 pre-made pie crust (9-inch)

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 cup mushrooms, sliced (either cremini or button)

2 cups fresh spinach, roughly chopped

1 small onion, finely diced

3 large eggs

1 cup heavy cream

1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or Gruyère work wonderfully)

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

1/4 teaspoon nutmeg (optional for a warm flavor)

Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it's ready for baking the quiche.

    Sauté the Vegetables: In a large skillet over medium heat, pour in the olive oil. Once the oil is shimmering, add the diced onion. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes or until the onion becomes translucent. Next, stir in the sliced mushrooms and continue to cook for 5-7 minutes until they turn golden brown and release their juices. Finally, add the chopped spinach to the skillet and stir until it wilts, which will take about 2 minutes. Season the vegetable mixture with a pinch of salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and nutmeg (if desired) for enhanced flavor.

      Prepare the Egg Mixture: In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and heavy cream until the mixture is smooth and well combined. Fold in half of the shredded cheese, reserving the other half for topping. Taste the mixture and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.

        Combine Ingredients: Allow the sautéed vegetables to cool slightly before assembling. Spread the sautéed veggie mixture evenly over the bottom of the pre-made pie crust. Carefully pour the egg and cream mixture over the vegetables, making sure it is evenly distributed.

          Add Cheese: Evenly sprinkle the remaining shredded cheese over the top of the quiche. This will create a deliciously cheesy crust as it bakes.

            Bake: Place the quiche in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes. It’s done when the quiche is set in the center and the top is a lovely golden brown.

              Cool and Serve: Once baked, remove the quiche from the oven and let it cool for about 10 minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley if you like, then slice into wedges and serve warm or at room temperature.
