Easy Musroom Spinach Quiche Recipe

Now this recipe is so easy that it’s almost embarrassing. Just a few ingredients and you’ll have these gorgeous mini quiches perfect for a party or for an appetizer.

I have always loved quiches and I have tried many recipes to find the perfect balance between taste and calories. These quiches are, in fact, perfectly healthy: no crust, packed with proteins and vegetables.

All you need for 12 mini quiches is:

• 5 eggs
• 1 and 1/2 cups sliced mushrooms
• 2/3 cup fromage frais (Can also use the same amount of zero fat Greek yogurt, if you can’t find fromage frais near you)
• 2 and 1/2 cups chopped spinach
• 1tsp olive oil
• 1tsp grated parmesan cheese
• 1 clove of garlic
• salt and pepper to taste

Method:

In a large pan add the olive oil, garlic, the mushrooms and a pinch of salt and pepper.

Stir fry the mushrooms on medium heat untill they lose all the water and they look darker, then set aside to cool.

In a pan boil the spinach in salted water for 5 minutes then drain and set aside to cool.

When the spinach is cold, rinse again, trying to eliminate all the excess water.

Beat the 5 eggs in a bowl, add the parmesan, a pinch of salt and the fromage frais/greek yogurt.

When the mixture is smooth, add the mushrooms and the spinach and stir very well.

With the mixture you have now, fill the 12 holes of a muffin tray and bake for 20 minutes at 350.
