Equipment

Ingredients

  • ½ tablespoon olive oil
  • ½ cup chopped onions
  • ½ cup sliced mushrooms
  • 1 clove garlic -minced
  • ¼ teaspoon kosher salt -divided

US - Metric

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • Heat a 10-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Add olive oil and swirl to coat.
  • Add onions, mushrooms, garlic, ⅛ teaspoon salt, and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until onions are soft and mushrooms are tender, 4–5 minutes.
  • Stir in spinach and cook until wilted, 1–2 minutes. Remove from heat.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk eggs, cream, and remaining ⅛ teaspoon salt.
  • Stir in the spinach mixture and cheese.
  • Pour into a lightly greased 5×5-inch baking dish. Set dish on a rimmed baking sheet.
  • Bake for 25 minutes, or until puffed and golden.

Notes

  • Use the Right Baking Dish: A 5x5-inch baking dish (1.5 cups, 25 sq. in.) works best. A 4x6-inch dish (24 sq. in.) also works well.
  • Sauté the Vegetables First: This prevents excess moisture and keeps the quiche from turning soggy.
  • Whisk Well: Fully combine the eggs and cream for a smooth texture.
  • Cool Before Serving: Let the quiche rest a few minutes to help the flavors come together.
  • Avoid Overbaking: Baking too long can dry it out.
  • Store Leftovers Properly: Refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
 
If doubling this recipe, double the ingredients and bake in a 6x8-inch baking dish.
