This is my all time favorite quiche. I did a little twist of the cheeses to make this rich and flavorful. This quiche is awesome and satisfying all by itself, great with an Arugula Salad (next post!), or with a soup.
Jump to RecipeStart by preparing a 9 or 10 inch pie plate. Spray with oil or butter, and mold pie crust into dish.
Next heat large skillet with oil over medium heat. Sauté chopped onions and mushrooms for approx. 3-5 minutes. Add minced garlic, sauté for 30 seconds then add chopped Swiss chard. Cook about 2-3 min, only until chard it slightly wilted. I usually add a pinch salt and pepper to the veggies.
Add cooked veggies to prepared pie dish.
Add cheeses.
Then fresh spinach.
Pour egg mixture over spinach slowly, allowing time for it to soak in under leaves or it will over flow the dish.
Bake at 375 degrees for 45-50 minutes. Similar to when baking a pie, cover the crust with some aluminum foil for the first 30 minutes to prevent the crust from burning or darkening too much. To reduce waste and not have to deal with aluminum foil not staying in place (major pain in the butt!), try investing in a metal pie crust cover that can purchased in most stores or of course, Amazon.
