Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
- Lightly grease a 9-inch glass or ceramic pie dish with 1/4 teaspoon oil. Toss potatoes with 1 teaspoon oil and 1/8 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Press into an even layer in pie dish, up the sides like a crust. Bake until golden brown at the edges and dry, about 20 minutes. Let cool.
- Lower the oven to 325 degrees. Heat 1 teaspoon oil in a large skillet, preferably nonstick, over medium heat. Add onion and cook until softened and golden, about 5 minutes. Add remaining teaspoon oil and mushrooms and cook, stirring, until mushrooms release their liquid and most of the liquid evaporates, about 8 minutes. Add spinach and 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper, and cook, stirring, just until spinach wilts, about 30 seconds. Let cool slightly.
- Whisk together eggs, milk and remaining 1/8 teaspoon salt and pepper. Spread the mushroom mixture in an even layer in the pie dish, and top with an even layer of the cheese. Carefully pour in egg mixture. Bake until firm around the edges but still wobbly in the center, about 20 minutes. Let cool, and serve warm or at room temperature.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Cut a 9-inch circle of parchment paper.

- Stir beaten eggs, cream, bagel seasoning, and hot pepper sauce in a large bowl until ingredients are fully incorporated. Stir in spinach, breaking up any clumps. Pour mixture over the cheese and potatoes. Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup Gruyere on top.

My husband and I have lived in four different states, and we've grown potatoes in every one of them. I mostly make this dish for family, but company loves it, too. It's almost a meal in itself-all you need to add is a salad. -Nancy Smith, Scottsdale, Arizona

Tips:
- Use fresh ingredients. Fresh spinach, potatoes, and eggs will give your quiche the best flavor and texture.
- Don't overcook the spinach. Wilted spinach is best for quiche. If you overcook it, it will become tough and watery.
- Use a good quality cheese. A sharp cheddar or Gruyère cheese will give your quiche a rich, cheesy flavor.
- Don't skimp on the butter. Butter is what gives quiche its flaky crust. Use a good quality unsalted butter and don't be afraid to use a generous amount.
- Chill the quiche before baking. This will help the quiche set properly and prevent it from cracking.
- Serve the quiche warm. Quiche is best served warm, but it can also be served cold.
