Ingredients
Method
Preparation
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9-inch pie dish or similar baking dish.
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat until shimmering and warm.
- Sauté the diced onion until translucent, stirring to prevent browning beyond color.
- Add minced garlic and cook briefly until fragrant, about thirty seconds to one minute.
- Stir in sliced mushrooms and cook until they release moisture and soften evenly.
- Add chopped spinach and continue cooking until fully wilted and excess moisture has mostly evaporated.
Mixing
- Whisk together the eggs and milk in a mixing bowl until the mixture is uniformly pale and slightly frothy.
- Fold in crumbled feta, then add salt and pepper sparingly because feta already contributes salt.
- Stir the sautéed vegetable mixture into the egg-feta mixture until evenly distributed without overmixing.
Baking
- Pour the combined mixture into the prepared greased pie dish, spreading ingredients evenly across the surface.
- Bake in the preheated oven for twenty-five to thirty minutes, or until the center is set and the top shows light golden color.
- Let the quiche cool for a few minutes on a wire rack before slicing to finish setting the custard.
Notes
To ensure a firmer custard, drain excess moisture from cooked vegetables. Use room-temperature ingredients for a smoother custard and allow to rest before slicing for clean portions.
