Ingredients and Variations

Pie Crust – A regular 9-inch pie crust or a deep-dish pizza pie crust are great options depending on how large/tall you want the quiche to be. Make a homemade pie crust and try mini quiches. Or for an even more simple recipe try this crustless bacon quiche.

Vegetables – Baby bella mushrooms are the mushrooms of choice for this recipe. Make sure they are firm and without blemishes. Fresh spinach is the best choice for this recipe. Although using frozen spinach is also an option. If using frozen, defrost a 10 ounce chopped spinach bag and squeeze out all of the water.

Cream – This spinach quiche can be made with cream or whole milk. Using cream will give it a more custard-like texture.

Cheese – For a more prominent flavor, sharp cheddar cheese, gruyere, or even blue cheese are great options. For a milder flavor, use mozzarella, Swiss, feta, and Provolone cheese. For a spicy quiche try pepper jack cheese.

Variations – Spinach doesn’t have to be the only mix-in. Drained canned corn, diced bell pepper, shredded carrots, tomatoes, diced green onions and chives are delicious additions. For added protein try bacon – cook in the pan first, remove and set aside, then after that sauté the other ingredients. Cubed ham, sausage, grilled chicken, and smoked salmon are also great add-ins.
