Spinach, Mushroom, and Feta Quiche
28 Feb
I’ve got a great recipe to share with you all today! Actually, it’s super-great because it’s versatile; it’s perfect for any meal!
I’ve always loved quiche, but never thought about adding it to my weekly meal rotation. Then Brittney posted about it, which encouraged me to try this recipe I found on Pinterest.
My quiche experiment got me thinking about what other ingredients might pair well together.
It should come as no surprise to anyone that I have trouble getting enough veggies (I’m a sweets girl, after all!). So, I decided to combine two of my favorite vegetables – spinach and mushrooms (although I guess mushrooms aren’t technically a vegetable?!) – to create this quiche!
Spinach, Mushroom, and Feta Quiche
Ingredients:
- 1 store-bought pie crust
- Two huge handfuls of spinach (accurate measurement right there!)
- 1 small container of mushrooms, chopped (any variety will do)
- 1 tbsp. olive oil
- 3/4 c. milk
- 1/2 c. heaving whipping cream
- 1/2 c. feta cheese (I used a tomato/basil feta I found at Wegman’s, but again, any variety would work.)
- 3 large eggs
- Salt and pepper to taste
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 350* and bake the pie crust for 10 minutes.
- As the pie crust is baking, sauté the mushrooms in the olive oil. Then, add the spinach and cook over low heat until spinach is wilted.
- Remove the pie crust from the oven, and top with the mushroom/spinach mix. Top with the feta cheese.
- Whisk together the milk, heavy whipping cream, eggs, and salt and pepper. Pour mixture over the pie crust.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes.
I made this for dinner, then enjoyed a piece for leftovers at lunch. It’s also a great breakfast! Come to think of it, this would be great to make at the beginning of the week and have on-hand for quick, healthy breakfasts.
Do you ever make quiche? What are some of your favorite quiche ingredients?
Ahh, that looks AWESOME! And very filling!
PS: I LOVE that you use Wegman’s products! I’m in Rochester, NY and we love ourselves some Weggies too!

I love how deep your pie dish is. I’ve had to remove some of the filling in mine because it is too shallow.
