Spinach and Mushroom Quiche

I have come to believe that quiche is maybe one of the most versatile meals.  It is definitely acceptable to be eaten at all times throughout the day.  I've had a history of eating the wrong things for breakfast (i.e. brownie sundaes, grilled cheese, apple pie a la mode,  all served by my mother), but quiche is perfect first thing in the morning!  Not only that, it definitely makes a good lunch and can even be eaten for dinner accompanied by a salad.  It includes healthy protein and can be really low in calories depending on what you put in it.  I decided to go the healthy route, as opposed to my usual baked goodies. Even so, my spinach and mushroom quiche came to be a perfect go-to throughout the week.  I even made a whole wheat crust to keep up with the whole healthy scheme I had going on... aren't you proud??

 

 First I made my crust.

Then I sauteed my onions, mushrooms, and wilted the spinach.

I grated some smoked gouda.

Then scrambled up 2 eggs and 2 egg whites.  I added some salt and pepper and some nutmeg just for kicks.  In the crust goes the veggies, then the cheese, then the eggs!  Then it's baked until the middle is set.

Then enjoy during any time of the day!
