Ingredients

• 1 piece Pre-made reduced-fat pie crust
• 1 as needed Olive oil spray
• 250 grams Button mushrooms, sliced
• 1 piece Medium onion, finely chopped
• 100 grams Fresh spinach leaves, chopped
• 3 large Eggs
• 2 large Egg whites
• 180 ml Low-fat milk
• 50 grams Reduced-fat cheddar cheese, grated
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon Nutmeg

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).

Step 2

Place the pre-made reduced-fat pie crust into a 9-inch quiche or pie dish. Trim any excess crust from the edges, and prick the bottom of the crust slightly with a fork.

Step 3

Place the crust in the preheated oven and bake for 10 minutes. Remove from oven and set aside to cool.

Step 4

Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly spray with olive oil spray.

Step 5

Add the chopped onion to the skillet and sauté for 2-3 minutes until translucent.

Step 6

Add the sliced mushrooms and continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms release their moisture and start to brown, about 5 minutes.

Step 7

Stir in the chopped spinach leaves and cook for another 2 minutes or until the spinach is wilted. Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly.

Step 8

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, egg whites, and low-fat milk. Season with salt, black pepper, and nutmeg.

Step 9

Stir in the mushroom, onion, and spinach mixture into the egg mixture. Mix well to combine.

Step 10

Pour the filling into the pre-baked crust and sprinkle the grated reduced-fat cheddar cheese evenly over the top.

Step 11

Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until the quiche is set and the top is lightly golden brown.

Step 12

Allow the quiche to cool for a few minutes before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature.
