- Bake the crust for fifteen minutes.
- Whisk the eggs and ½ cup of plain Greek yogurt in a medium bowl.
- Then, whisk in the mushrooms, spinach, and ¾ cup of cheese.

Mushroom Spinach Quiche Storage Tips:
SERVE: As with most recipes with dairy products, you should leave this quiche out for 2 hours at maximum.
STORE: The quiche will stay fresh for up to 5 days in the refrigerator in an airtight container.
FREEZE:
- Cool completely: Let the quiche cool completely to room temperature before freezing. This will help prevent the crust from becoming soggy.
- Wrap tightly: Wrap the quiche tightly in plastic wrap, then aluminum foil. This will help prevent freezer burn.
- Freeze for up to 3 months: Label the quiche with the date and freeze for up to 3 months.
THAW:
- Thaw in the refrigerator: The best way to thaw quiche is in the refrigerator overnight. This will help the quiche thaw evenly and prevent the crust from becoming soggy.
- Thaw on the counter: If you’re short on time, you can thaw the quiche on the counter. However, this may make the crust a little bit soggy.
- Thaw in the microwave: You can also thaw the quiche in the microwave. However, this is the riskiest method, as it can easily overcook the quiche. If you thaw the quiche in the microwave, do it on a low power setting and check it frequently.
REHEAT:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Unwrap the quiche: Remove the quiche from the plastic wrap and aluminum foil.
- Place quiche on a baking sheet: Place the quiche on a baking sheet and bake for 20-30 minutes or until heated through.
- Let stand for 5 minutes before serving: Let the quiche stand for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
Spinach Mushroom Quiche Recipe FAQs:
Yes! It can be an alternative if you don’t have fresh spinach or prefer to use frozen. Make sure to thaw it and squeeze it dry. Get as much water out as possible because extra moisture will make your quiche watery.
You do not need to cook the spinach before putting it in the quiche. The spinach will cook in the egg mixture while it bakes in the oven.
It could result from not mixing the correct amount of Greek Yogurt, which helps make the quiche creamy. If there is not enough yogurt, the quiche will be dry. If there is too much, it will not fully set.
In our testing of this recipe, we have found the perfect amount of Greek Yogurt to be ½ cup.
The quiche will need to bake for twenty-five to thirty minutes. It will be done baking when the center jiggles slightly and is golden brown.
Get Kids Involved
Ages 2-3: Your child can practice counting skills as you help them count the number of ingredients you add to the bowl. Guide their hands as they help whisk the ingredients together.
Ages 4-5: Teach your child how to properly crack an egg as they assist with this step. This can be messy initially but worth it as they learn this skill.
Ages 6-8: Discuss fractions as they measure the Greek Yogurt for the egg mixture. This can also lead to a discussion on the science of baking and how the egg mixture will change textures during the cooking process.
Ages 9-11: Supervise them while they prepare the entire recipe. Remember to have them read it twice before beginning the recipe.
Ages 12+: Let them prepare the entire recipe unsupervised while you do the happy dance in the corner!
