Are you looking for an exotic one pot meal other than the usual routine ? Look no further as I have a tasty and filling quiche that is made with spinach, mushrooms, and cheese. This is my first attempt trying out a french cuisine and it came out pretty well and here is the recipe. The total process involves
- Preparing the base
- Preparing the filling
- Assembling n Baking
For Quiche Base
Ingredients
- 1 cup flour
- Flour for dusting
- 6 tbsp unsalted cold butter
- 1/4 tsp baking powder
- 1 beaten egg
- salt to taste
Mix the flour,baking powder and salt together nicely. Chop the butter and mix it with flour nicely with ur fingers. When butter incoporates into the flour nicely then add the beaten egg and mix it till it forms a soft round dough.
With a rolling pin making it into a 11 inch dia circle. Carefully shift into the greased pie pan.Press it softly against the pie pan and discard the extra dough on the edge.
Poke some holes into the base with a fork to avoid it to puff when it bakes.Keep it in fridge while u are making ur stuffing.

- 1/2 onions
- 2 finely chopped green chillies

- 1 tsp chopped garlic

For topping
- 1/2 cup milk

- 1/4 tsp pepper
For topping, in a bowl beat the egg nicely,add milk, grate cheese salt pepper and mix nicely and keep aside
For Assembly
Preheat the oven 350 F.
Take out the quiche crust from the fridge. Spread the mushroom stuffing evenly. Then pour the milk mixture on top of it evenly. It is should be 1/2 cm below the top edge.

Put it in oven and bake it for 40-45 min or till the crust become golden brown and the topping too.After baking pull it out from oven and let it rest for 10 min. Slice it and enjoy.
Note: You can avoid egg by adding 1/2 cup grated cheese while making Quiche base n add more cheese on the top before baking
