Mushroom & Spinach Crustless Quiche Ingredients
Mushrooms
You may use any mushrooms of your choice as long as their edible. Personally, fresh button mushrooms is what’s locally available here, so I use the same. Shiitake mushrooms gotta be the best, so if their easily available, go for it!! Canned mushrooms work well too
Spinach
Fresh green spinach are best. Baby Spinach is even better. Use what’s easily available
Eggs
Egg is what gives this mushroom its firm texture and fluffy feel. It’s an important ingredient and a must if your looking for a good texture
Milk
Full-fat milk is best. The custard mixture of milk and eggs, is what makes the quiche moist. Regular room temperature milk is best
Garlic & Onion
Just adds flavor and thickness to this recipe. Chop both of these fine and make sure to cook it well for the flavors to blend well with the other ingredients
Pepper
I’ve always said this, crushed pepper for cooking is always tastier than powdered pepper. Use crushed pepper for the best flavor in your pie’s, tarts, savoury fillings and more
Herbs
In this recipe, we’ve used dried oregano and dried mixed herbs. Use what’s available at home or any herbs of your choice. Chili flakes is always better than chili powder, so don’t skip this one
Cheese
Cheese is an important ingredient when it comes to a quiche. The more, the better. Use any cheese of your choice. Feel free to use a blend of cheddar, mozarella or any cheese that can be grated
Salt
Remember, spinach already has a slightly salty taste. Cheese, has salt too. Thus, adjust the salt as per taste, do not go overboard with this one
