Ingredients
  

For the custard
  • 6 large large eggs The custard base; don’t skimp on size for texture.
  • 1/2 cup milk Lightens the custard; whole milk gives better richness.
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream Optional but recommended for a silkier custard.
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder Or 1 small clove minced sautéed with the mushrooms.
  • Salt and pepper to taste Salt and pepper Season the custard and mushrooms separately.
For the filling
  • 1/2 cup sautéed mushrooms Button or cremini, finely chopped. Sauté first to remove moisture.
  • 1/2 cup chopped fresh spinach Wilted and squeezed of excess liquid to avoid soggy quiches.
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese Sharp cheddar works well; mix with Gruyère for a nuttier profile.
  • Fresh parsley for garnish Fresh parsley Adds color and freshness.
  • as needed Non-stick cooking spray Or butter to grease the tin.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly spray a 12-cup mini muffin tin with non-stick cooking spray.
  2. Clean and slice about 1 cup mushrooms; chop smaller if you like smaller bites.
  3. Heat a tablespoon of oil or butter in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté mushrooms until golden and most moisture has evaporated, about 6–8 minutes. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
  4. Add chopped spinach to the pan for the last 1–2 minutes just to wilt. Remove from heat and cool slightly.
Assembly
  1. In a bowl, whisk 6 large eggs until blended. Whisk in 1/2 cup milk and 1/4 cup heavy cream until smooth. Stir in 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder and salt and pepper to taste.
  2. Place a small spoonful of mushrooms and spinach into each greased muffin cup (about 1–2 teaspoons).
  3. Sprinkle about 1 tablespoon of shredded cheddar into each cup over the veggies.
  4. Carefully pour the egg mixture into each cup, filling nearly to the top but leaving a little room for expansion.
Baking
  1. Bake in the preheated oven for 15–18 minutes, or until the centers are set and tops are lightly golden. A toothpick inserted should come out mostly clean with a few moist crumbs.
  2. Let quiches rest in the tin 3–4 minutes, then run a small knife around edges and lift out onto a rack to cool slightly.
Serving
  1. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley. Serve warm or at room temperature. If serving later, cool completely first, then refrigerate.
  2. If you want a slightly crisper top, broil for 30 seconds at the end—watch carefully.

Notes

These mini quiches are versatile on the plate. Pair with mixed green salad, sliced tomatoes, or a light fruit salad. Refrigerate for up to 4 days; reheat as needed. For better texture, reheat in the oven rather than the microwave.
