Ingredients
Spinach, Mushroom, and Feta Crustless Quiche
- 280g (10 oz.) frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
- 225g (8 oz.) mushrooms, thinly sliced
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 0.5g (1/8 tsp) salt
- 15ml (1 Tbsp) cooking oil, divided
- 57g (2 oz.) feta cheese, crumbled
- 4 large eggs
- 30g (1/4 cup) grated Parmesan cheese
- 1g (1/4 tsp) pepper
- 240ml (1 cup) milk

Directions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a 9-inch (23 cm) pie plate by brushing it with ½ tablespoon of cooking oil.
- Prepare the spinach: Thaw the frozen spinach and squeeze out as much moisture as possible.
- Sauté the mushrooms: In a skillet, add the mushrooms, minced garlic, salt, and ½ tablespoon of cooking oil. Cook over medium heat until the mushrooms release their moisture and it evaporates completely.
- Assemble the quiche: In the prepared pie plate, layer the sautéed mushrooms, thawed spinach, and crumbled feta cheese.
- Mix the custard: In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, grated Parmesan, pepper, and milk until well combined.
- Combine and bake: Pour the egg mixture over the layered vegetables and feta in the pie plate. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese on top.
- Bake: Place the quiche in the preheated oven and bake for about 50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).
- Serve: Allow the quiche to cool slightly before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature.
