  • 8 ounces sliced fresh mixed wild mushrooms such as cremini, shiitake, button and/or oyster mushrooms

  • 1 ½ cups thinly sliced sweet onion

  • 1 tablespoon thinly sliced garlic

  • 5 ounces fresh baby spinach (about 8 cups), coarsely chopped

  • 6 large eggs

  • ¼ teaspoon salt

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Coat a 9-inch pie pan with cooking spray; set aside.

  2. Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat; swirl to coat the pan. Add mushrooms; cook, stirring occasionally, until browned and tender, about 8 minutes. Add onion and garlic; cook, stirring often, until softened and tender, about 5 minutes. Add spinach; cook, tossing constantly, until wilted, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from heat.

  3. Whisk eggs, milk, half-and-half, mustard, thyme, salt and pepper in a medium bowl. Fold in the mushroom mixture and cheese. Spoon into the prepared pie pan. Bake until set and golden brown, about 30 minutes. Let stand for 10 minutes; slice. Garnish with thyme and serve.
