Directions
Preheat your oven to 200 degrees Celsius.
Roll out the pastry dough and place it into a quiche or tart pan, trimming any excess and pricking the base with a fork.
Blind bake the pastry for 10-15 minutes, then remove from the oven and set it aside.
In a frying pan over medium heat, melt the butter and sauté the onions, garlic, and mushrooms until softened.
Add in the spinach leaves and cook until they have wilted down. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Set this mixture aside to cool.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, and the cheeses. Combine this with the cooled spinach and mushroom mixture.
Pour the egg mixture into the pre-cooked pastry shell.
Place the quiche in the oven and cook for 35-40 minutes, or until the filling is set and the top is golden.
Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly before cutting into slices and serving.
