Muffin-Tin Spinach & Mushroom Mini Quiches

Serves 6

Active Time: 35 minutes

Total Time: 1 hour and 5 minutes

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

8 ounces fresh mixed wild mushrooms (such as oyster and shiitake), sliced

1 cup thinly sliced yellow onion

1 tablespoon minced garlic

2 teaspoons minced fresh thyme

1 (5-ounce) package fresh spinach, coarsely chopped

8 large eggs

2/3 cup whole milk

 

2 teaspoons Dijon mustard

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon ground pepper

3/4 cup shredded Gruyere cheese

1. Preheat oven to 325 F.

2. Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms in an even layer; cook, undisturbed, until browned on the bottom, about 4 minutes. Stir and continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until browned all over, about 5 minutes. Add onion; cook, stirring occasionally, until beginning to soften, about 4 minutes. Stir in garlic and thyme; cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Add spinach; cook, stirring constantly, until just wilted, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat.

3. Whisk eggs, milk, Dijon, salt and pepper in a large bowl. Stir in cheese and the mushroom mixture. Coat a standard 12-cup muffin tin with cooking spray. Divide the mixture among the prepared muffin cups. Bake, uncovered, until puffed and set, about 30 minutes. Remove from the pan and serve immediately.
