Ingredients
  

1 cup fresh spinach, chopped

1 cup mushrooms, diced (button or cremini)

1/2 cup onion, finely chopped

2 cloves garlic, minced

4 large eggs

1/2 cup milk (or a non-dairy alternative)

1/2 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or feta)

1/2 tsp salt

1/4 tsp black pepper

1/4 tsp nutmeg (optional)

1 package (1 roll) of pre-made pie crust or puff pastry

Cooking spray or olive oil for greasing

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a muffin pan with cooking spray or lightly coat with olive oil to prevent sticking.

    Sauté the Vegetables: In a large skillet, heat a tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and sauté until they become translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Then, add the minced garlic and diced mushrooms, cooking for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the mushrooms are tender and release their juices. Stir in the chopped spinach and cook until wilted, about 2 more minutes. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.

      Prepare the Egg Mixture: In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Stir in the sautéed vegetable mixture and add the shredded cheese. Mix until well combined.

        Prepare the Crusts: Roll out the pie crust or puff pastry on a lightly floured surface. Using a round cutter or a glass, cut out circles that are large enough to fit into the muffin pan. Gently press each circle into the prepared muffin cups, creating a crust.

          Fill the Cups: Carefully pour the egg and vegetable mixture into each pastry-lined muffin cup, filling them about 3/4 of the way full to allow for rising.

            Bake: Place the muffin pan in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the quiche cups are set and the tops are slightly golden brown.

              Cool and Serve: Allow the quiche cups to cool in the pan for about 5 minutes before removing them carefully with a fork or knife. Serve warm or at room temperature, and enjoy!
