Ingredients
  

  • 1 tbsp Olive Oil
  • 1 Shallot finely chopped
  • 8 oz Cremini Mushrooms sliced
  • 2 cloves Garlic minced
  • 5 oz Fresh Spinach
  • 8 Large Eggs
  • 1/2 cup Heavy Cream
  • 1/2 cup Whole Milk
  • 1 cup Gruyere Cheese shredded
  • 1/2 tsp Salt
  • 1/4 tsp Black Pepper
  • 1/8 tsp Nutmeg freshly grated is best

Equipment

  • 1 12-cup muffin tin
  • 1 Large Skillet
  • 1 Large Mixing Bowl

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Generously grease a standard 12-cup muffin tin with non-stick spray or butter.
  2. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the shallot and cook until softened. Add mushrooms and cook until browned. Stir in the garlic until fragrant. Add the spinach and cook until just wilted. Remove from heat and squeeze out all excess liquid.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk the eggs, heavy cream, milk, salt, pepper, and nutmeg until smooth. Stir in the shredded Gruyere cheese and the cooled mushroom and spinach mixture.
  4. Pour the egg mixture evenly into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
  5. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the muffins are set, puffed, and lightly golden. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean.
  6. Let the quiche muffins cool in the tin for 5-10 minutes before running a knife around the edges and removing them. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes

Moisture is the enemy! Be sure to squeeze as much liquid as possible from the cooked spinach and mushrooms for the best texture.
Don't overbake. The muffins will continue to cook slightly from residual heat after being removed from the oven.
Cheese variations: Feel free to substitute the Gruyere with sharp cheddar, Swiss, or crumbled feta cheese.
