Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 4 large Large eggs Room temperature eggs whisk more evenly for a smooth custard
  • 1 cup Milk Use dairy milk or unsweetened dairy-free alternatives such as almond or oat milk
  • 1 cup Feta cheese, crumbled Use reduced-sodium feta to lower salt, or goat feta for creamier texture
  • 2 cups Fresh spinach, chopped Baby spinach works well; pack loosely before chopping
  • 1 cup Mushrooms, sliced Cremini or button mushrooms provide meaty texture; slice thinly
  • 1 small Onion, diced Yellow or sweet onion adds caramelized sweetness when sautéed
  • 2 cloves Garlic, minced Add towards the end of sautéing to keep garlic from burning
  • to taste Salt and pepper Season lightly at first, then adjust after baking
  • for sautéing Olive oil Use extra-virgin olive oil for better flavor

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9-inch pie dish or similar baking dish.
  2. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat until shimmering and warm.
  3. Sauté the diced onion until translucent, stirring to prevent browning beyond color.
  4. Add minced garlic and cook briefly until fragrant, about thirty seconds to one minute.
  5. Stir in sliced mushrooms and cook until they release moisture and soften evenly.
  6. Add chopped spinach and continue cooking until fully wilted and excess moisture has mostly evaporated.
Mixing
  1. Whisk together the eggs and milk in a mixing bowl until the mixture is uniformly pale and slightly frothy.
  2. Fold in crumbled feta, then add salt and pepper sparingly because feta already contributes salt.
  3. Stir the sautéed vegetable mixture into the egg-feta mixture until evenly distributed without overmixing.
Baking
  1. Pour the combined mixture into the prepared greased pie dish, spreading ingredients evenly across the surface.
  2. Bake in the preheated oven for twenty-five to thirty minutes, or until the center is set and the top shows light golden color.
  3. 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.
