How to Make Mushroom And Spinach Quiche With Potato Crust

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Lightly grease a 9-inch glass or ceramic pie dish with 1/4 teaspoon olive oil.
  3. Peel and thinly slice 2 medium potatoes (about 1 1/2 cups sliced). Toss with 1 teaspoon olive oil, 1/8 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon black pepper.
  4. Press the potatoes into an even layer in the pie dish, pressing up the sides to form a crust.
  5. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and dry.
  6. Remove from oven and let cool completely.
  7. Reduce oven temperature to 325°F (160°C).
  8. While the crust is baking, heat 1 teaspoon olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat.
  9. Add 1/2 medium onion, chopped, and cook until softened and golden, about 5 minutes.
  10. Add another 1 teaspoon olive oil, 8 ounces cremini mushrooms, sliced, and cook, stirring occasionally, until mushrooms release their liquid and most of the liquid evaporates, about 8 minutes.
  11. Add 5 ounces fresh spinach, chopped, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Cook, stirring, until spinach wilts, about 30 seconds.
  12. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  13. In a medium bowl, whisk together 4 large eggs, 1/2 cup milk (or cream for richer flavor), and 1/8 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon black pepper.
  14. Spread the mushroom and spinach mixture evenly in the potato crust.
  15. Top with 1/2 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, Gruyere, or your favorite).
  16. Carefully pour the egg mixture over the filling.
  17. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the quiche is set around the edges but still slightly wobbly in the center.
  18. Let cool for at least 10 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.
