Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 250 grams button mushrooms
• 1 medium onion
• 2 units garlic cloves
• 100 grams baby spinach
• 6 units eggs
• 1 cup milk
• 0.5 cups heavy cream
• 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
• 0.5 cups parmesan cheese, grated
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoons black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9-inch pie dish with cooking spray or a small amount of olive oil and set aside.

Step 2

Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

Step 3

Slice the mushrooms and dice the onion. Mince the garlic cloves.

Step 4

Add the diced onion to the skillet and sauté for 3–4 minutes until softened and translucent.

Step 5

Add the garlic and sliced mushrooms to the skillet. Cook for 5–6 minutes until the mushrooms release their moisture and begin to brown.

Step 6

Add the baby spinach to the skillet and sauté for 1–2 minutes, just until wilted. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 7

In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and heavy cream until fully combined.

Step 8

Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese, grated parmesan cheese, chopped parsley, fresh thyme leaves, salt, and black pepper.

Step 9

Add the cooked mushroom and spinach mixture to the egg mixture, stirring gently to evenly combine.

Step 10

Pour the mixture into the prepared pie dish, spreading it out evenly with a spoon or spatula.

Step 11

Bake the quiche in the preheated oven for 30–35 minutes, or until the edges are set, and the center is just slightly jiggly.

Step 12

Remove from the oven and allow the quiche to cool for 5–10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Step 13

Garnish with extra parsley if desired. Serve warm or at room temperature.
