Spinach & Mushroom Quiche

A perfect Savoury Treat for special Brunches. This quiche can be eaten hot or cold. Loaded with goodness of spinach, mushroom and cheese, you can also experiment with veggies of your choice!

Many years back, I heard a character talk about Quiche in a movie. There wasn’t any way, I could get it in a small town like Jaipur back then. I decided, I will make it because the ingredients are pretty simple and the recipe too isn’t complicated. Nowadays, I love to experiement with different quiches and make it for lunch a lot. It’s actually healthy. Here’s the Perfect Pie Crust recipe I use when I have time. Sometimes, I also use store-bought Crust, I use gluten-free one. For daily, I swap heavy cream with yogurt and it still tastes delicious. I think everyone should try making quiche because it’s simple, but looks very fancy. This is the first quiche I ever tasted- Spinach and Mushroom Quiche

Notes

1. When making the pie crust for quiches, ensure not to prick it too much, or the egg and cream mixture will find it’s way out of the pie (as happened to me when making for the first time  )
2. If you don’t like thready spinach, chop it into small pieces but don’t grind.
3. I prefer to cut the cheese into pieces and spreading it so that the spinach and mushroom are visible in the quiche.
4. You can also sprinkle the quiche with caramelized onions and chives.
