Vegetarian Quiche
Prep Time: 20 min    Cook Time: 40 min    Ready In: 60 min

Serving Size: 4

I had a couple of friends over on the weekend and one of them was vegetarian. She has inspired me to put together a vegetarian quiche!


INGREDENTS
1 Pie Shell (I brought frozen pie shell: Tenderflakes)
1 Package of Frozen Spinach
6 Button Mushroom
4 Eggs
1Tbs Vegetable Oil
1/2 Onion
1/2 Cup Cream
Salt to taste


DIRECTIONS
Follow the instructions from the store brought pie shell. Usually you have to defrost the pie shell and than bake it for about 15 minutes. Let pie cool at room temperature for about 10 minutes.

Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees.Meanwhile, defrost Spinach in a microwave. Put the spinach on high for 3 minutes and the give it a stir and put it back into the microwave for 3 more minutes. Drain all the water from the spinach. You may use paper towel to soak all the water out.

Dice the onion and slice the mushrooms. In a small pan, sautee onion and mushrooms with vegetable oil for 3 minutes. Take pan off heat and stir in spinach add in salt to taste. Place the filling into the pie shell.

Whisk eggs and cream together. I covered the crust of the quiche with aluminum foil so they would not get darken.

 Pour the mixture over the pie filling and let the liquid set. Place quiche into the oven for 40 minutes.

Remove quiche from oven and let sit for 5 minutes before serving!
