Back some time ago, I mentioned the delicious quiche I cobbled together from a couple of different recipes. So many were interested I promised to post what I did so here goes!
First, I cheated. I used a store pie crust. It was delicious but I'm sure if you do home made, it would be even better! Bake10 minutes in a 375 degree oven.
In a skillet, sautee until spinach is wilted and mushrooms/shallot are softened.
About four or so cups of fresh spinach, ribs removed and roughly chopped (unless you are using baby spinach -- no need to chop
1 shallot or a small onion
1 8 oz. package of sliced mushrooms (I use Portobello). You can lightly chop overly large mushroom.
While it is cooking, combine...
4 eggs (I used XL but L should be OK)
3/4 c. milk
8 or so oz. of Grueyere or Swiss cheese (Gruyere would be better but I had Swiss so I used it and it was fine) -- Save about 1/4 c. to sprinkle on top
About 4-6 oz. Feta cheese. I used block feta and crumbled but pre-crumbled is probably fine
A dash of nutmeg, and salt and pepper.
Put the filling mixture in the bottom of the blind-baked pie crust and add the liquid mixture on the top. Top with the remaining Grueyre.
Bake about 40 minutes or until a toothpick or skewer comes out clean. Allow to cool for a few minutes before serving so it sets well.
Serve with fruit, potatoes, a delicious muffin or toast.

I like the main ingredients of shallot onions, feta cheese, eggs, and milk. I shall serve it using your suggestions. Thanks for sharing.
oooh Jeanie, that looks delicious, I love Quiche. I will be making one for our summer WI meeting next month, I usually make my own pastry but I might cheat and use Jus-rol!!
Looks delicious Jeanie! The store bought pie crust is convenient.
Thanks for sharing the recipe! Take care, enjoy your day.
I will be dreaming of this tonight, so yummy! Thanks for sharing! Hugs, Valerie
Jeanie, that sounds wonderful! And I'm so in the mood for a quiche. Made one last week, and your photos have me craving quiche again already!
PS Love your new header Linda did!
I love quiche and this sounds really good!
YUM!!!
What beautiful presentation. I enjoy quiche.
That does look wonderful. When I lived in the US I sometimes made quiche (with store bought crust). I don’t have an oven here, so I haven’t had quiche in years.
Your quiche looks divine, Jeanie. I make one often without a crust, but a crust makes it even more delicious.
Yummy.
I like quiche. I buy from a small shop that makes meals in housefor sale.
Cheese whose pronunciation sounds like what a grizzly bear might say MUST go in quiche, give it a little power! It looks delish!
Yummy - It looks and sounds perfect! I love throwing together quiches from leftovers and always keep some store bough crusts in the freezer for those quick and easy meals - crustless is good too. I will sometimes add some leftover cubed bread or some kind of taters when I go crustless. It's one of those anything goes kind of meals. Thanks for sharing your recipe. :)
Such a good looking quiche, Jeanie I love all the ingredients in there. Down the street from where I grew up, there was a small cafe, and they serve the best quiches - I always got the asparagus quiche, and Oh, it was so good. The cafe is still there, and I really miss it. Your quiche looks wonderful, and I like that pretty blue plate you served it on. This is a nice Summer meal.

Quiche looks yummy …
Oh my Jeanie, you are creative in the kitchen too!
Mouth watering! Can you freeze it? Ingo hates this dough, so I would make it but for myself.
Looks so good, Jeanie. Since giving up dairy, quiche is something I miss a lot. I have so many recipe variations too. Sure hope it tastes as good as it looks!
Your quiche looks delicious, Jeanie, and yes, real men do eat quiche!
It looks delicious, and I've already saved the recipe. As soon as I can bring myself to turn the oven on, I'll give it a whirl!
Mmmm, that looks good. I've posted about making quiche before, as well. I used to make it quite regularly and then found out that husband doesn't really like it! -Jenn
I love quiche and that sounds, looks delish!
Jeanie, I love quiche! It looks delicious and thanks for sharing your recipe.
My mouth is watering Jeanie. This looks delicious. Quiche is always a good choice in my book. Happy start to your weekend. Hugs-Erika
Yum! No shame in store bought crusts!
That looks really tasty and pretty too. I got lost on the 'blind-baked' pie crust.
Yum! I have never thought about using a different cheese than Swiss, but I think you are right Gruyere would be good. Plus Feta, that wouldn't even have come on my radar. I have always used the same recipe and never explored something new, but now I am going to try this out. No baking this week though. It's too hot to turn the oven on. Thanks for posting this.
Yummy! I might bake a quiche this weekend. I think I will definitely cheat with a store-bought pie crust, lol!
This is definitely making me hungry. All I have is colby-jack, but it sounds and looks wonderful.
Yum! Quiche is such a treat. They are so easy to make when you cheat on the crust!
Sounds and looks good.
YUMMY, YUMMY, YUMMY...that all looks great.
Oh yum, I love quiche. I make a crustless quiche. LIBERALLY butter the pan. Shake in bread crumbs. Assemble as usual.
Have a creative weekend;)
Jeanie, that looks and sounds delicious. I do like to make my own pie crust, but the only thing is that it never comes out right the same way twice. I just can't seem to be consistent with it even though I make it the same way each time! Have a great weekend..xxoJudy
Looks delicious. I may have to try this.
I love quiche, but alas my Bob does not. Looks yummy though! Janice
Jeanie, I don't call it cheating when I use a "short-cut" when I'm in a crunch. And, as much as I bake and cook I have never made a crust that measures up so store bough is fine with me. Your recipe sounds delicious. Have a lovely weekend.......
Jeanie,
I have never actually tried a quiche....Looks good though...Thanks so much for visiting!!
Stay safe, healthy and happy!!
Hugs,
Debbie
It looks so good and yummy!
Thanks for the recipe
Thanks for the recipe. I like quiche, and this looks like something I could make.
It looks so delicious! I bet you enjoyed every bite.
Hmmmm, this looks so good...never thought of mixing feta and swiss, but I'm sure they balance beautifully, I will try this, Thanks! Sandi
Jeanie it's a work of art. A delicious recipe!
This would work well with the way I use a tofu mixture to make vegan quiche.
That sounds and looks delicious. I love quiche, but so far have never made one myself. Maybe I should try your recipe.
Your quiche looks delicious, thank you for sharing your recipe.
Have a lovely weekend.
All the best Jan
I love quiche, it's easy to make and anything goes, yours with spinach and mushrooms looks great!
Jenna
Yum! We had quiche for brunch.
Yummmmmmy! I tried it and loved it.
You've inspired me...I'm definitely making a quiche next month during Paris in July.
