This Best Spinach and Mushroom Quiche is my absolute favorite combination of eggy-goodness with spinach, mushrooms, feta and cheddar cheese. Who doesn’t like a crispy pie crust as the base of their main entrée? Meat eaters can also opt to add a little sausage for a heartier option. The beauty of this dish is that you can eat it for any meal. It makes a great dinner with a nice side salad or a great breakfast with a side of fruit. I make this every year for Easter brunch (along with my delicious peach french toast).
Don’t worry, men can and will eat this Quiche. My brother is very set in his scrambled egg-eating ways and is always sure to mention to me that Quiche is too feminine of a dish for his taste. However, I know he really likes it because he is always sure to eat nearly half the pan!
I really had a lot of fun with my daughter, mini chef in training, today. We made our first video which will be featured on an upcoming post. She successfully cracked her first egg today (there may only be a few shells here and there)! I think she had a little bit too much fun, because she kept requesting to crack more eggs for the next 30 minutes. Oh my…I think I have created a mini chef monster. It will definitely have its advantages when she gets a little bit older. I am thinking a nice Quiche breakfast in bed for Mother’s Day. Hopefully, she didn’t get her father’s cooking genes (yikes). We must succeed!
