Scale
- 50g unsalted butter
- 375g mushrooms, sliced
- 45g baby spinach leaves
- 70g onion, finely chopped
- 100g bacon, cut into small pieces
- 100g cheddar cheese, shredded
- 50g feta, cubed
- 125ml milk
- 6 extra-large eggs, lightly beaten
- 2ml salt
- 2ml freshly ground black pepper
- 5ml bottled minced garlic
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and spray a deep-dish pie dish (about 24 x 30 cm) with nonstick cooking spray. Set aside.
- In a large skillet over medium-high heat, melt 50g butter.
- Once melted, toss in 375g sliced mushrooms and 5ml bottled minced garlic. Fry until the mushrooms are semi-soft.
- Add 45g baby spinach leaves to the skillet and cook just until wilted. Remove from heat and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add 100g bacon pieces and 70g chopped onion.
- Cook until the bacon is just done, and the onion turns soft and fragrant, not browned.
- In a big mixing bowl, combine the mushroom-spinach mix, bacon-onion mix, 6 lightly beaten eggs, 125ml milk, and 100g shredded cheddar. Stir gently to mix everything together.
- Season with 2ml salt and 2ml freshly ground black pepper, adjusting to taste.
- Pour the mixture into your prepared pie dish.
- Sprinkle 50g of feta cubes evenly on top.
- Bake uncovered for 30–35 minutes, or until the center is set, and the top turns light golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and let it cool for about 5 minutes before slicing.
- Serve warm and enjoy this hearty, crustless quiche any time of day; it’s just as tasty cold from the fridge the next day!
Chef’s Note
This was a total fridge raid moment; no crust, no stress, just what I had on hand. Feel free to switch up the fillings with whatever you’ve got (bell peppers, zucchini, or leftover ham work great too).
