Ingredients
- 2 tbsp olive oil or butter
- 8 oz mushrooms, sliced
- 2 cups fresh spinach
- 4 large eggs
- ¾ cup heavy cream
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp onion powder
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- ¼ tsp nutmeg (optional)
Why These Ingredients Work
Eggs and cream create a custard-like base, while mushrooms and spinach add texture and nutrients. Cheese brings richness and helps the pie set beautifully without a crust.
Ingredient Notes
- Mushrooms: Button or cremini mushrooms work best for flavor and texture.
- Spinach: Fresh spinach is preferred, but thawed frozen spinach can be used (drain well).
- Cheese: Mozzarella adds meltiness, while Parmesan gives a savory depth.
- Heavy Cream: Essential for a creamy, fluffy texture — avoid milk substitutes.
- Seasonings: Nutmeg adds warmth, but it’s optional.
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F and lightly grease a pie dish.
This prevents sticking and ensures even baking. - Sauté the mushrooms.
Heat oil or butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add mushrooms and cook until golden and tender, about 5–7 minutes. - Add spinach.
Stir in spinach and cook just until wilted. Remove from heat and let cool slightly. - Prepare the egg mixture.
In a bowl, whisk eggs, heavy cream, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, and nutmeg until smooth and creamy. - Assemble the pie.
Spread the mushroom-spinach mixture evenly in the pie dish. Sprinkle with mozzarella and Parmesan. - Pour in the custard.
Slowly pour the egg mixture over the filling, allowing it to settle evenly. - Bake until set.
Bake for 35–40 minutes, until the center is firm and the top is lightly golden. - Rest before slicing.
Let the pie cool for 10 minutes so it slices cleanly and holds its shape.
