Spinach Mushroom and Ham Quiche on Wheat Crust

 

Tonight I was wanting to fix something good by using the ingredients that I already had in the kitchen. How many times do we do that?   Unfortunately I wasn’t able to do it with the ingredients I had. I was in the middle of chopping all the veggies and noticed that my onion had gone bad. So I had to make a quick trip to Walmart. Good thing it’s just down the street!

 

I decide to go with an easy wheat crust that my lovely coworker Lacey gave me. It just has a few ingredients and its easy and healthy.

Here are the ingredients

Notice the  garlic grape seed oil?

I love every opportunity to use this. I pick this up back when Kyle and I visited the wineries in Altus.  I use it sparingly because it’s very strong but it adds so much flavor!

 

Mix together all your crust ingredients and shape in pie dish

It’s not going to look very pretty because it’s very crumbly.  This was the best I could do.

Bake your crust in 400 degree oven for 8 min.

While your crust is cooking chop your veggies and mix together your filling.  I sautéed onion and mushrooms together in a little olive oil.

When the onions were just about caramelized I added 2 handfuls of fresh spinach

Mix together 3 eggs, 1 cup of milk and season with salt and pepper.

Once your veggies are done mix into egg mixture with your ham and cheese.

Do you notice something missing? I forgot to add the cheese so I added it once I already poured it into the pie shell. Accidents happen.
