Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F and place a large baking sheet inside to heat.
Fit the pie crust into a 9-inch pie plate and keep it chilled.
Squeeze excess moisture from the thawed spinach and set aside.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sauté sliced mushrooms for 5–6 minutes, seasoning lightly with salt and pepper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs, evaporated milk, ricotta, flour, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper until smooth.
Stir in spinach, grated cheddar cheese, and sautéed mushrooms.
Pour filling into the prepared pie crust.
Place the quiche on the hot baking sheet and bake for 50–60 minutes, or until the center is set.
Cool for about 15 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

Swap cheddar for Swiss or Gruyere for a different flavor.
Make it crustless by greasing the pie dish and skipping the crust.
Add bell peppers or onions for extra veggies and texture.
Use fresh spinach by cooking and draining it well—about 3 cups packed.
Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
