TRANSFORMED SPINACH MUSHROOM QUICHE



Transformed Spinach Mushroom Quiche image

This moist vegetarian quiche is perfect for every meal. The quiche was originally a quiche Lorraine, but has since been transformed. Feel free to add sausage if you choose. I usually make 2 large pies or several small ones all at one time, freezing whatever is left over.

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h40m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 tablespoons olive oil
8 ounces sliced button mushrooms
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 store-bought pie crust
One 10-ounce box frozen chopped spinach, thawed, drained and pressed to remove any water
6 ounces Gruyere, grated
1 1/2 cups half-and-half
8 large eggs

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. When the oil is hot, add the mushrooms, garlic and thyme. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms have browned, 5 to 6 minutes. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Remove the skillet from the heat.
  • Press the pie crust into a deep, 9-inch tart pan with a removeable bottom (or a deep-dish pie pan). Layer the mushrooms and spinach into the crust and top with the cheese.
  • Whisk together the half-and-half, eggs and a good pinch of salt and pepper in a large bowl. Pour the egg mixture into the crust.
  • Place the pan on a rimmed baking sheet. Lightly cover the pan with aluminum foil and bake for 45 minutes. Remove the foil and continue baking until the quiche is set and the crust is golden brown, another 10 to 15 minutes. Let the quiche sit for 10 to 15 minutes, then remove from the pan, slice and serve.
