8 Servings
Ingredients
- 1 refrigerated pie crust
- 1 tbsp butter
- 1 c sliced mushrooms
- 3 green onions sliced
- 3 c fresh spinach or 1 10-ounce package of frozen spinach, thawed
- 3 large eggs
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 1/2 c milk
- 1 c shredded Swiss cheese
- 1/2 c shredded smoked Gouda cheese
- 3/4 c diced cooked ham
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F. Roll out your pie crust and press it into a pie dish, making sure to fit it snugly. Use a fork to poke a few holes in the bottom and sides—this keeps it from puffing up while baking.
- Pop the pie crust into the oven and bake for 10 minutes. After that, drop the oven temperature down to 325°F.
- In a medium skillet, heat up the butter over medium heat until it’s melted and ready to go. Toss in the sliced mushrooms and green onions, cooking for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. If you’re using fresh spinach, add it to the skillet and cook just until it wilts. For frozen spinach, make sure it’s thawed and squeeze out any extra water, then toss it in and heat through. Set aside once done.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and salt until the mixture is smooth. Stir in the shredded cheese, diced ham, and your spinach-mushroom mixture until everything is well combined.
- Pour the mixture into the pre-baked pie crust and bake for 50-55 minutes, or until the center is set and doesn’t jiggle when you give it a little shake.
- Let the quiche rest for about 10 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
Notes
Need this quiche to be gluten-free? It’s no big deal! Just swap out the regular pie crust for a gluten-free one—most grocery stores have them in the freezer section, so it’s a quick and easy switch. As for the rest of the ingredients, ham and cheese are usually gluten-free, but it’s always a good idea to check the labels just to be sure. With those simple changes, you’ll still get all the same rich, savory goodness without the gluten. Perfect for anyone with gluten sensitivities, and trust me, no one will even notice the difference!
