So finally I got the ok from my doctor to move around a bit in the house...and guess where I end up? In the kitchen of course! Don't get me wrong, the meals that my husband and our friends have been cooking have been delightful. But cooking to me is simply, relaxing. :)
As my first comeback, I made my favorite spinach and bella mushroom quiche (simple, easy, doesn't require much standing time). I did cheat and got a pie crust from the store.
Here is the recipe:
Ingredients:
1 pack fresh spinach, washed and chopped
6 bella mushrooms, washed and sliced
1/2 onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, smashed and finely chopped
6 oz shredded cheddar cheese
8 oz shredded mozzarella cheese
4 eggs
1/2 cup milk
salt/pepper to taste
1 deep dish pie crust
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 375 F.
2. Sautee onion and garlic with butter until slightly brown. Add spinach and bella mushroom. Season with salt and pepper and turn off heat. Drain water from pot and stir in 1/2 cup cheddar cheese.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk eggs and milk. Blend in with mozzarella cheese.
4. Spoon half of the spinach and mushroom mixture onto pie crust. Pour in egg mixture, then add remaining spinach and mushroom.
5. Bake in preheated oven for 15 mins. Sprinkle remaining cheddar cheese on top (at this time, the quiche should be setting). Base for additional 30 mins.
and what a quiche it was ... i am still pondering whether i should go for a 2nd, 3rd or 4th slice :-)
