Ingredients

1 pie crust dough 9-inch pie crust
1 tbsp butter unsalted
8 oz cremini mushrooms sliced
1 shallot minced
2 garlic cloves minced
3 cups fresh spinach roughly chopped
4 large eggs
3/4 cup whole milk
salt and pepper
1 cup colby jack cheese grated (or swiss cheese, or mozzarella cheese)
1/3 cup Parmesan cheese

Instructions

On a lightly floured surface, roll the pie dough until you have a circle 12 inches in diameter. Place the dough into a 9-inch pie plate. Crimp the edges or use a fork to press the edges. Place in the freezer for 30 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius).
Line the chilled pie crust with parchment paper or aluminum foil. Fill with pie weights or dried beans or rice. Place in the oven and bake until the edges of the crust are starting to brown, about 14-16 minutes.
Remove from the oven and carefully lift the parchment paper or aluminum foil (with the weights) out of the pie crust. Using a fork, carefully prick the bottom of the crust. Return to the oven and bake for 6-8 minutes. Remove the crust from the oven and allow to cool while preparing the filling.
Reduce the oven temperature to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius).
In a large skillet set over medium heat, add the butter. Sauté the mushrooms until browned, about 6-8 minutes. Sauté the shallot and garlic until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add spinach and cook until wilted, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool.
Whisk the eggs, milk, salt, pepper, Parmesan cheese, and half of the grated cheese together until combined.
Pour into the warm pie crust and top with the remaining cheese.
Place in the oven and bake the quiche until the center is set, about 50-60 minutes. If the edges begin to look too brown, cover with foil.
Remove from the oven and let cool for 20 minutes before serving.

Notes

- You can add chopped ham, sausage, or bacon.

STORE Spinach Quiche in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 4 days. To FREEZE, wrap the quiche tightly in plastic wrap and aluminum foil, then store it for up to 2 months.

To REHEAT, thaw overnight in the refrigerator if frozen, then bake in a preheated oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius) for 20 minutes, or until heated through.
