Sharing my quiche recipe for Easter!! I live for a good quiche. My 2 favorite spots for quiche are Mercat Bistro in Dallas and Andre’s in Kansas City. If there is a good-looking quiche on the menu I just about always order it. Will keep making mine until I find a spot in Denver!

Ingredients:
Dozen eggs
1/3 cup of heavy cream
1/4 cup of half and half
Bag of spinach
Carton of mushroom
Goat cheese
4-5 shallots
Butter
2 frozen pie shells
Olive oil
2 lemons
Salt and pepper
Herbs of Italy seasoning

I have yet to find an amazing homemade crust- if you have a good one please let me know! For the time being, I just use frozen pie shells 🤪 I coat the pie shells with a little egg white and bake in the oven until golden brown. This ensures a crisp quiche before you bake the actual quiche.

While the pie crusts are in the oven, heat some butter on the stove and start cooking the diced shallots. After about 5 minutes add the mushrooms to the pan. I like to season the mixture with salt, pepper, and herbs of Italy seasoning. When the mixture is cooked go ahead and add about half the bag of spinach. When the spinach is cooked and vibrant green coloring- remove the mixture from the stove and let cool a bit. At this point, the pie shells are usually done so let those cool a few minutes as well.

Take a dozen eggs and whisk them together in a large mixing bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Add heavy cream and half & half.

Take the mushroom mixture and divide between the cooked pie shells. * I like to save a little of the mixture to add to my side salad.

Now top with crumbled goat cheese. My personal fav is the honey chevre goat cheese from Trader Joe’s. Take egg mixture and pour into pie shells. Bake quiche at 350 for about 30-45 minutes. Remove from oven when golden brown.

*While the quiche is baking I like to cook some crispy bacon and a side salad.

For the side salad take the remainder of the spinach and place it in a large bowl. Squeeze the juice of 2 lemons over the spinach and add a little olive oil. Stir and add the little bit of saved mushroom mixture from the quiche filling. Top salad with goat cheese and serve with quiche. Enjoy!
