This moist vegetarian quiche is perfect for every meal. The quiche was originally a quiche Lorraine, but has since been transformed. Feel free to add sausage if you choose. I usually make 2 large pies or several small ones all at one time, freezing whatever is left over.

Tips:
- Prep the Vegetables: Before starting, thoroughly wash and chop the mushrooms, spinach, and onion. Ensure the vegetables are evenly sized for consistent cooking.
- Wilt the Spinach: Wilting the spinach removes excess moisture and intensifies its flavor. Heat a pan, add the spinach, and cook until wilted. Squeeze out any remaining liquid before adding it to the quiche filling.
- Use Fresh Herbs: Fresh herbs like thyme, rosemary, or chives add a burst of flavor to the quiche. Chop them finely and mix them into the filling just before baking.
- Don't Overbeat the Eggs: Overbeating the eggs can result in a tough quiche. Whisk them until well combined, but avoid creating too much air.
- Blind Bake the Crust: Blind baking the crust before adding the filling helps prevent a soggy bottom. Line the pie dish with parchment paper, fill it with pie weights or dried beans, and bake for 10-12 minutes.
- Pay Attention to Cooking Time: The quiche is done when the center is set and no longer jiggly. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean.

This self-crusting mushroom and spinach quiche is a delectable dish that combines the savory flavors of mushrooms, spinach, and cheese.
