How to Make Spinach Mushroom Quiche

Get ready to bake a truly delightful quiche! Here are the simple steps, packed with clever tips and tricks to ensure your savory pie is a resounding success.

1. Make the Crust

You can use two knives to cut in the shortening if you don’t have a pastry blender. When it’s ready, it should resemble small peas. When adding water, add a tablespoon at a time. Use cold water and minimal handling to create the perfect tender crust. 

2.  Pre-Bake for a Perfect Base

This pre-baking step is a vital trick to prevent a soggy bottom, ensuring your quiche has a wonderfully crisp base! Once done, reduce your oven temperature to 325°F.

3. Make the Filling 

Sautéing is key in this step; it brings out the best flavor!  

4. Bake

Bake for 40 to 45 minutes, or until a knife inserted into the center comes out clean. This "knife test" is your ultimate trick for knowing your quiche is perfectly set. Let your quiche stand for 10 minutes before cutting. This resting period allows the filling to firm up, guaranteeing beautiful, clean slices.

How to Store (and Reheat) Spinach Mushroom Quiche

Because this savory pie contains eggs and dairy, it should not be left at room temperature for more than 2 hours. After serving, any leftovers should be promptly stored to maintain food safety and quality.

Refrigerator 

To keep your quiche fresh, allow it to cool completely to room temperature after baking. Once cooled, place the entire quiche or individual slices in an airtight container, or cover it tightly with plastic wrap or aluminum foil. Store for up to 3 days.

Freezer 

Once completely cooled, wrap tightly in plastic wrap, then add an additional layer of heavy-duty aluminum foil. Store in the freezer for up to 2 months.

Thawing

To enjoy, transfer the frozen quiche to the refrigerator and let thaw overnight.

Reheating

From Refrigerator: Heat in a 300°F oven for about 10-15 minutes, or until heated through.

From Freezer (Thawed): Once thawed in the refrigerator, reheat as you would from the refrigerator.
