Ingredients

For the quiche

• 2 cups fresh spinach, chopped
• 1 cup mushrooms, sliced (button or cremini work well)
• 1 small onion, finely chopped
• 3 large eggs
• 1 cup milk (or almond milk for a dairy-free option)
• 1 cup feta cheese, crumbled
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• Fresh herbs (optional, such as dill or parsley for garnish)

Instructions

• Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9-inch pie dish.

• In a skillet over medium heat, add olive oil and sauté the onions until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

🍳 Make sure to stir the onions frequently to avoid burning.

• Add the sliced mushrooms and cook until they have released their moisture and are golden brown, about 5 minutes. Then, stir in the chopped spinach just until wilted, about 1-2 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

• In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

🥄 For added flavor, you can throw in a pinch of nutmeg to enhance the earthy notes of the dish.

• Gently fold in the sautéed spinach and mushroom mixture, followed by the crumbled feta cheese.

• Pour the egg mixture into the prepared pie dish and spread it evenly.

• Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the quiche is set and the edges are lightly golden. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean.

• Let the quiche cool for a few minutes before slicing. Garnish with fresh herbs if desired, and serve warm or at room temperature.

🥗 This dish pairs wonderfully with a side salad or some crusty bread for a complete meal!

Variations

• Protein-packed: Add cooked bacon or diced ham for a meaty twist.
• Dairy-free: Substitute feta with a plant-based cheese alternative.
• Spicy kick: Incorporate some diced jalapeños or red pepper flakes into the egg mixture for a heat boost!
• Vegetable overload: Add in bell peppers, zucchini, or any leftover veggies you have in your fridge for extra nutrition.
