Instructions

Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9-inch pie dish or quiche pan with olive oil or non-stick cooking spray.
Prepare the Vegetables:
Heat the olive oil or butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for 2-3 minutes until translucent. Add the mushrooms and cook until they release their moisture and turn golden, about 5 minutes. Stir in the chopped spinach and cook until wilted. Remove from heat and set aside.
Make the Egg Mixture:
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, heavy cream, salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Stir in ¾ cup of the shredded cheese, reserving the rest for topping.
Combine and Assemble:
Spread the cooked vegetables evenly across the greased pie dish. Pour the egg mixture over the vegetables, ensuring they are evenly distributed. Sprinkle the remaining shredded cheese on top.
Bake the Quiche:
Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is lightly golden. A knife inserted in the center should come out clean.
Cool and Serve:
Remove the quiche from the oven and let it cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing. Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired, and serve warm.
