Spinach Mushroom Quiche (recipe)

[Guest guest]

I revamped a recipe (that called for 1/2 a cup of

butter, 3 cups of cheese, and 1 cup of cream) and made

this quiche for brunch sunday morning. it was tasty.

i served it with dave's texas hasbrowns (recipe in

files...side dishes) and fresh blueberries and

pineapple.

 

Spinach Mushroom Quiche

 

2 T. butter

1 clove garlic, minced

1/2 small onion, chopped

1 (10-oz) pkg. frozen chopped spinach, thawed and

drained (squeeze dry)

5 white button mushrooms, sliced thin

1/2 - 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

salt and pepper, to taste

1 (10-inch) unbaked deep-dish pie crust

4 eggs, beaten

1 cup milk

 

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

 

In a skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Saute

garlic and onion in butter until lightly golden. Add

mushrooms and saute until they cook down. Stir in

spinach and season mixture with salt and pepper. Spoon

mixture into pastry-lined pie pan.

 

In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs and milk.

Season with salt and pepper. Pour into the pastry

shell, allowing egg mixture to thoroughly combine with

spinach mixture.

 

Bake in preheated oven for 35-40 minutes until the top

is golden, the quiche has set in center and a knife

inserted an inch from the crust comes out clean.

 

Allow quiche to stand 10 minutes before serving.
