Mushroom, Red Pepper and Spinach Quiche

I think some quiche and a simple side of greens makes for a nice, light dinner.  Quiche is super versatile and can be basically made with anything you have on hand.  I happen to have two frozen crusts in my freezer at the moment so I am going to use one of them, but will make a homemade crust for my next quiche.

Ingredients

1 medium white onion, thinly sliced
1 container of sliced baby bella mushrooms
1 red pepper, thinly sliced
1/2 bag of baby spinach, chopped
2 cloves of garlic, minced
1 cup shredded aged asiago
3 eggs and 2 egg whites
2/3 cup milk
pie crust

Saute the pepper, onion, and mushrooms in butter.  When they are tender, add the spinach and cook until wilted.  Add the garlic and cook until fragrant.  Set aside and let cool.

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

Whisk eggs with milk and add salt and pepper.  Pour in the cooled vegetable mix and most of the cheese.

Pour the egg mixture into the pie crust and sprinkle with remaining cheese.

Bake uncovered at 400 degrees for about 20-25 minutes or until lightly browned on top.

Serve with greens- enjoy!
