Instructions

Prepare Your Veggies: Start by roughly chopping your spinach, roughly dicing your mushrooms, and finely dicing your shallot.
Pre-cook Your Veggies: Drizzle a small amount of olive in a large pan and heat it over medium heat, then add in your mushrooms and sweat them down for about 5 minutes. Once they’ve softened, shrunk down, and started to brown, add in 1 tablespoon of Extra Virgin Olive Oil, the diced shallots, ½ tsp salt, ¼ tsp pepper, and Italian seasoning. Stir occasionally for 5 minutes until the shallots have started to brown and become fragrant. Add in your spinach (and more olive oil if needed) and stir for a minute or two until the spinach has softened. Remove your veggies from the heat and set aside to cool.
Preheat your oven to 350℉
Make Your Quiche Filling: Add your eggs, milk, cream, cheese, 1/2 tsp salt, ¼ tsp pepper, chives, and paprika to a large bowl and whisk everything together until combined. Add in your cooled, sauteed veggies and mix again to combine.
Transfer Your Filling: Transfer your quiche filling evenly between your two pie crusts.
Bake Your Quiche: Place your quiches in the oven and bake for 1 hour. Once you can cleanly remove a toothpick from the center of them, they are ready!
Cool and Serve: Allow your quiches to cool for 10 minutes before cutting into them. Garnish with your last tablespoon of fresh chives and enjoy!
