My Spinach and Cheese Quiche is a heavenly combination of oozing cheese, irony spinach and crumbly pastry. Loaded with different flavors, including mushrooms and garlic, the soft, tasty filling works perfectly with the crisp, buttery Flaky Pie Crust .
It’s not at all tricky to make, but looks like you really made an effort, especially with the fact that your pastry is homemade! Check out my simple pie crust recipe, which you can make in advance for an even easier process!
To make Spinach and Cheese Quiche, you will need the following ingredients:
Preheat oven to 350°F and lightly grease a 9-inch pie dish.
Heat the oil in a skillet and add the mushrooms, garlic and a pinch of salt and pepper. Continue sauteeing until the mushrooms are soft and none of their liquid remains in the bottom of the pan.
Flour a work surface and take the dough out of the refrigerator. Roll the dough out, turning it a quarter of a turn ever few rolls so that you have an even circle. The circle should be big enough to cover the bottom and sides of the pie dish, around 12 inches in diameter. Gently drape the circle of dough over the pan and press it into the bottom and sides of the dish. Trim the excess dough from the sides of the dish.
Line the pie crust with parchment paper and add dried beans to the center. Bake it for 8 minutes and then remove from the oven.
Meanwhile, whisk the eggs, parmesan and milk until combined and add some seasoning.
Ensure the spinach is well drained. Spread the spinach out in the bottom of the baked pie crust before adding the mushrooms and cheddar. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the top.
Bake the quiche for between 45 minutes to 1 hour, until the centre feels firm to the touch. It should turn a golden brown; if it starts to overbrown, cover it with foil for the remainder of the cooking.
Leave to cool for 5 minutes before serving in slices.
