Here's the recipe for the spinach quiche which is truly a healthy low-carb and gluten-free breakfast. Try it!
Ingredients
- A little olive oil (for cooking the mushrooms)
- 1 (10 oz) package
- fresh spinach (I used the baby ones) — about 284 grams
- 4 eggs (if the yolks are quite small I use 5 eggs)
- 1 cup shredded cheese
- of your choice (I use mozzarella or the Italian Blend)
- 1 (8 oz package) mini-bella mushrooms, chopped
- 1-2 Tbsp, heavy cream or half-and-half (optional)
- Salt and Pepper, to
- taste
Procedure
- Preheat the oven to 375F or 190C.
- Heat a little oil in a large skillet. Saute the mushrooms until they are soft, about 5-6 minutes. Set Aside.
- Place the spinach in a deep pan or in the skillet that you used for the mushrooms. Add a little water,
- 1/4 cup should do it. Using medium heat, cook the spinach just until wilted,
- about 3-4 mins. Use either your hand or a spatula to pack in the
- spinach. Drain the excess water really well (especially if you decide to use frozen spinach instead).
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk the eggs until combined. Add the cooked mushrooms, spinach, cheeses and cream (if using) to the eggs. Mix well. Season to taste.
- Divide evenly among the
- 12 muffin cups. The muffin tray was slightly bigger than usual so I only filled about 10 cups.
- Bake for about 20-23 minutes, or until it's well set and a tester/toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Leave in the pan for a few minutes or just until it's cool enough to handle. It was so easy to remove them from the pan! They practically pop-out!
- Sprinkle with a little more cheese on top, if desired. Mark enjoys them with rice on the side!
